Notes
The only image of the north front is the survey elevation (drawing [53]) which shows a three-storey asymetrical front with the principal entrance (to the house) towards the centre; there are large pitched roofs and plain windows. The new design crenellates the roof, adds a clock tower and turret-like chimneys and generally tidies things up.
