p. 191. “(Whyte/IFR) Two-storey, late Georgian house with a front of three bays plus a three-sided bow, to which a two-storey wing was added in the Victorian period. 
 
In the end of the Victorian wing facing the front is a three-sided bow, intended to balance the earlier bow, but not quite doing so, since it is taller and narrower than the earlier bow; also the Victorian wing also has an eaved roof with barge-boards and gables, whereas the other roof has a parapet. 
 
The lower storey of the original building has two Wyatt windows flanked by a pilastered porch.”
