Summary

However, during the 18th century a red brick house facing south was attached. This part is of two storeys and has a low pitched slated half-hipped roof, and a central doorway with reeded architrave doorcase. The older two storey north wing is plastered and has a steep pantile roof with gabled ends. The dovecote originally associated with the Hall is listed separately under NHER 45762.
