Front wall has sash windows with 6 over 6 panes with horns and in reveals. Central semi-circular headed doorway with stuccoed archivolt, semi-circular fanlight with radiating tracery and four-panelled door with sunk panels. The rear elevation was not seen at resurvey, but it is reported that the roof descends low over rear outshut.
