capitals. 'U'-plan, 2 storeys with attics; South facade of 11 bays, of which outer pairs project slightly. Plinth,
lower cill course, eaves cornice and panelled solid parapets; 2-light cruciform timber windows with leaded lights in
plain surrounds, the lower windows having triple keystones; doorway to bay 6 with Gibbsian surround and keystone, with
late C20 doors in early C20 frame with leaded fanlight; hipped dormer windows behind parapet bays 2 to l0; lead
