There are thin wood lintels above a boarded door located to the left of centre, flanked by windows that contain some glazing bars. The upper section is blank. The left return gable has a long flight of side stone steps leading to a first-floor boarded door, which is situated under a thin stone lintel. Additionally, there are five graduated rows of pigeon holes in the peak of the gable.
