Four pane pivoted window to right, cambered stone voussoired head. C20 lean-to garage to right. C20 ground floor window to left end. Rendered rear, three upper windows as front. Small 4-pane window to ground floor left, plaster missing to reveal a brick cambered head.

Interior
Roughly chamfered cross-beam to ground floor left room. Six-panel doors off lobby (raised and fielded panels to parlour). Simple late C19 dog-leg staircase to lobby with turned balusters. and square newels: the stair appears to be supported on a piece of a cruck-blade. Large fireplace blocked.
