Front: five window range; First floor : two two-light 19th century casement windows to the left-hand side, eight panes per light with crown glass; two 12-pane hornless sash windows and one of 12 panes, all with margin panes, crown glass and coloured panes to each corner. Ground-floor: a two-light casement window (as above) to either side of left-hand door with 19th century bead-mould surround; main door (to former passage), panelled and glazed under gabled slate-roofed timber porch, between 12-pane hornless sash windows as above.
