p. 254. “(Cramer-Roberts/LCI 1958; Close/LG1937 supp) A Georgian block of three storeys over basement, six bays long and five bays deep, with a parapeted roof and a strong-course under the top storey windows giving htem the effect of an attic. In the Victorian period, two single-storey three sided pilastered bows were added on one front, with a pilastered rectangular projection between them; and single-storey pilastered rectangular projections were added on the adjoining fronts, one of them having a pierced parapet and running the full depth of the house. Stylistically, these additions seem likely to have been to the design of George Ashlin. On the death of M.W.C. Cramer-Roberts 1939, Sallymount passed to his daughter, Mrs Maxwell Close, by whom it was sold. Now demolished.”
