It has a 6-panel door and overlight set in a segmental-arched doorcase with heavy chamfered rusticated jambs and voussoirs, flanked by blind windows. One window to each of the first and second floors are similar to those at the front. The left return is blank. The two-storey rear wings retain mostly original 6/6-pane sash windows.
