Notes
Fronted by a portico with four primitive Doric columns (fluted in upper two-thirds and without a base), the front is 11 bays wide, two storeys high in the centre and three storeys high for the two end bays. A balustrade runs across the centre bays and across each of the second floor end windows. A comparison with the survey elevation [drawing 1] shows that the original house is seven bays wide.
