On the north-west side of the house is a central projection of which the sides are rusticated on the ground floor with, above, a large tripartite window. The centre light of this is round-headed and flanked by engaged Ionic columns with a pediment over. The outer lights are flanked by Doric pilasters with a cornice over. There are two windows on the 2nd floor of each side. The north-west front of this projection forms a portico, said to have been added in 1787 and brought from Wricklemarsh House, Blackheath. This provides an entrance to the house at 1st floor level. Four giant composite columns rise through two storeys to support a pediment. The portico contains a central doorway flanked by engaged Ionic columns with a projecting cornice over and rectangular fanlight.
