p. 216. “ (Roberts/LGI1958) A three storey Georgian house which seems originally to have had a front consisting of a centre recessed between two projections with rounded corners. At a later date, the centre in the two upper storeys was filled in, making a front of four bays; on the ground floor there is still a central convex-sided recess, which is fronted by a single-storey portico with slender columns. The rounded out corners of th front have curved windows and are frmaed by blocked quoins. Eaved roof. Staircase of good joinery behind entrance hall, rising to top of the house. Drawing room and dining room with rounded corners. A seat of the Robertses; now being restored by Leslie Roberts, having not been occupied by his family for some years.”
