Aspect
Elevation of a three-storey building, over a half-sunk basement, with flanking links terminating in pavilions with single-storey boundary walls. The central bay has a stepped gable and is flanked by single-bay round towers with pepper-pot roofs, and this motif is repeated in the central bays of the end pavilions. There are a mixture of tripartite windows, arched windows, cross windows, slit windows and oculi and across the entire elevation are crenelations, corbelled bartizans, machicolated cornices and hood mouldings
