Its front gable has a 6/3 sash and its right cheek is blank. Its left cheek is not visible. Each remaining bay has a 4/2 sliding sash window with smooth rendered architrave and no cill. The right gable of house is smooth rendered and blank. The left gable is abutted by a single storey return with roof and walls as main block and chimney on its left gable.
