The building is three-storey high, and the disposition is well marked by the sectioned roofs, flanked by tall, traditional chimneys and adorned with a dormer window for each volume. On the garden fa�ade, there are empty niches between the windows on the middle storey. The most subtle handling concerns the projections on the entrance fa�ade, with a three-level frontispiece. The orders are stacked in standard fashion, Corinthian above Ionic above Doric, and their entablatures reflect this progression: they are unbroken across the ground floor level, centrally staggered in the middle, and completely broken at the top.
The picture shows the garden front.
