To left of porch is similar window with two to right. To the right of these windows is a large flat roofed extension with window, similar to before, at front.

Historical information
House shown, without extensions, on OS map of 1834. Until the last 25 years or so this house appears to have remained in a form perhaps largely untouched since its construction, however, this has now changed with the building of the extensions and the inclusion of PVC windows.
