Notes
The side front is of five bays with slightly projecting pedimented end bays with semicircular-headed windows. The centre has flat-headed casements on the ground, mezzanine and upper floors and porte-cochere with coupled Doric columns. The design relates to the elevations shown in [SM D3/14/9] verso, [SM D3/14/8] and [SM D3/14/21] and is closest to the first of these.
