Cross-wing has 5-light mullioned and transomed bay window in ground storey, with canted sides and pent roof, 3-light mullioned window in upper storey. Gable has flat coping with kneelers and moulded apex; small round window in centre. Left return (exposed to Bolham Lane) has a 6-light bay window in ground storey, with square sides and pent roof. At eaves level a string course, continued from front elevation. Two-light gabled dormer in upper storey, with stone coping and kneelers. Windows to both elevations have unmoulded stone surrounds and small-paned glazing with margin panes, the glazing bars of iron.
