"Proudly neo-Jacobean" wrote Pevsner. He said it was built c1869, but English Heritage say 1837, which would be very early for such a style. Of limestone, symmetrical with a central oriel window and shaped gables. The free-standing octagonal 'minarets' and square clock tower behind the central gable are "unusual". Grade II* listed. Now used as offices.
