Notes
The elevation shows a seven-bay, two-storey, horizontally rusticated facade with an attic storey above a cornice and below another with a blocking course that is punctuated by ten roundels. All of the windows except for the three on the southeast corner and two in the centre are blind. These centre windows are four-part and are above and behind a single-storey portico with two pairs of piers that are cruciform (16-sided) in section and are decorated with lion's mask 'capitals' on four sides. The east portico, internally 18 feet 6 inches wide, is diminutive compared with the two-storey south portico that is almost 50 feet wide. As built, the east side was of six bays with (as seen in National Monuments Record photographs, 1951) no blind windows and the eclectically mannered portico was not built.
