Entrances are on the inner sides, reached up replacement steps. Ivy House has a panel door, Bodalaw a half-glazed panel door, both under overlights. The entrances are beneath a continuous canopy, with dividing wooden latticework partition and a moulded wooden post, between hipped canted bay windows with 4-pane horned sashes. The 1st floor has 4-pane horned sash windows. In the L gable end Ivy house has a small-pane attic window.
