The latter has a large external lateral stack, and remains of a dismantled left-hand end stack. One 3-light window at ground floor to left of door, two 3-light, and one 2-light above. The near front of 2 bays, with 2 mid-19th century canted bays with slated roofs at ground floor level, below two 20th century 3-light casement windows under eyebrow eaves, with scratch-moulded architraves, supported on small moulded brackets. Two end stacks. The south-west angle of this block has a small timber blind arcade with Tuscan pilasters, which forms a frame to a back door.
