Notes
Sills and a cornice are labelled 'Stone'.
The front and back elevations show that Dance's two-storey wing is the same height as the two floors and attics of the old house. The east front of Dance's wing has three round-arched windows at the ground floor, three square-headed windows above and, lighting the linking lobbies, plain narrow windows. The back has a single round-arched ground floor window within a corresponding blind arch with a blind arch either side. The first floor windows are blind except for the centre one. Two small circular windows light the linking lobbies.
