This probably also applies to the unusual stepped dentils on the eaves of the façade (they are identical to those on some of the 19th century park lodges).
Classical doorcase.
Rear parallel section of house added in the 19th century in imitation of the old style.
Now rented as a cottage from Heydon Estates.
Excellent condition.
