The brickwork has been executed in 2in red bricks, specially made, and the doors and windows have mouded Bath stone dressings. The principal entrance has carved stone spandrels and rich mouldings, and linen-fold panelled door. All the timber work has been executed in English oaf, the frieze and barge-boards being richly carved in foliated pattern, with the following nscription on scrolls entwined in the foliage of the frieze: ‘Haec Domus anno sexagesimo Victoria Reginae renovate est’. The work has been carried out from the designs of Mr P M Beaumont, AMICE architect of Maldon by Mr Sach, contractor, Coggeshall. The carving is by Mr W B Polley of Coggeshall.
