Keyed heads with continuous dripmould which dies into an impost band which also divides the quoin pilasters. Bracketted stone cills. Pontypool Park arms in the gable. The side elevation has a tripartite sash, one over one flanking two over two sashes. The other side is attached to a later building, but also has a tripartite sash as above.
