This has a shaped Dutch gable supported by grooved and partly panelled qouin pilasters. Triple window with arched heads, the outer ones have one over one sashes, the centre one has marginal glazing. 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.
