Three ground floor, 16-pane, original sash-windows under stone lintels to front elevation are recessed into shallow relief semi-circular brick arches. To the second floor are three six-pane original sash-windows and one blind window to the east. To the rear are attached single storey out-houses to the east and west return and stable block with hayloft over and curved barge board forming a rear yard.
