At front (facing east) the building has 3 loft windows and 3 ground storey windows alternating with doors and 2 small vents. The windows are diagonally lathed for ventilation. The left door is boarded, in a substantial frame. The right door is probably a later insertion, also boarded but with a brick cambered arch.
