Believed to have been constructed in the 18th century and subsequently converted in the late 1970's, this imposing wing is steeped in history including use as a former school and as accommodation for recuperating soldiers during the war. Today, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and has an abundance of period features including ceiling roses, ornate cornicing and large sashed windows.
