One storey. W. front has 3 bays. Central porch with pediment and entablature over moulded arch with scrolled keystone flanked by Ionic pilasters. Steps to porch flanked by low piers with ball finials and cast-iron railings to arcaded parapet set diagonally at left-hand corner. Railings and parapet matched round enclosure on opposite side of road.
Segmental-plan railings at entrance to Stowe Park have panelled gate piers with stone corniced caps and urns, and plain outer pier with ball finials, one missing (B14).
