Mansion, now a school, 1779 (Pevsner) with additions 1885. (Porch

Flemish Bond, with stone dressing and slate roof. 3 storeys and
attic, 5 bays with 3 storey, 3 bay wing north and 2 storey and attic 3
bay wing (by Douglas) south. Stone plinth and first floor sill band.
Three centre bays project slightly and are surmounted by a gable

sashes with stone sills, flat arches and glazing bars. Oculus, with
stone surround, in the tympanum of the pediment. Projecting brick
porch with ovolo moulded semicircular stone archivolt, with keystone
and flanking reeded stone pilasters. The pilasters continue upwards
passing a dentil cornice and brick parapet wall, with stone coping, to
support ball finials. The porch has a nine-panel semi-circular headed
outer door, on strap hinges, and a half glazed nine-panel internal
door with semi-circular headed 3-mullion fanlight. The interior of
the porch has dado panelling and the side walls stone ovolo moulded
cross windows with leaded glazing. There is a brick parapet wall
above the eaves cornice and stone copings to parapet and gables.
Gable-end stacks. The south wing is contemporary to the porch having
stone cross windows, with leaded glazing, and shaped gables to the
centre and south gable-end. The late C18 north wing has recessed
sashes and detailing similar to the main building.
Interior: Entrance Hall has stone geometrical staircase with shaped
step ends, turned oak balusters and very heavy moulded bottom newel.
The Dining Room has panelled walls, panelled beams and the ceiling
formed into panels by moulded wooden beads. There are panelled
shutters to windows, some with carving, and many six panel doors. At
first floor level there is a screen of Doric columns and pilasters
supporting a moulded beam, and the spaces between the columns are
filled with balusters which match the staircase. On the Landing a
semi-circular headed niche is flanked by six-panel doors with panelled
linings, and there are matching doors to north and south ends of the
Landing.
