Very large side addition. Mr Hursey an artist and scultor lived there. He made a carved linen fold door to lounge and carved the front door, adding an ancient bell. There is a galleried section to the back upper floor, 5 bedrooms, library, lounge, dining room and kitchen. A huge cellar was later discovered,the same size as the house.There is a large driveway.
