Entrance front has doubled end pilasters and single pilasters to central bay. Two ground floor and three first floor sashes. Stone porch with 'unfluted Greek Doric columns' (surely this makes them Roman Doric?).

Two bay two storey west service wing. Large oak staircase, twisted balusters, very ornate; described as mid 18th century (so inserted from elsewhere?).
