Entrance, in the north gable, consists of a 6-panel door in ovolo moulded frame with external lining and ogee architraves.

Down the east side there are three pairs of French windows with glazing bars, external ovolo moulds and narrow hoods on ovolo brackets. The French windows are surmounted by oeils-de-boeuf windows with radial bars. The windows are in panels formed by two brick pilasters taken up to eaves level. On the west side an outshut with catslide roof, continuing from the main slope, covers a store of no special interest. The sandstone ridge is divided by an open bellcote with boarded base, arched openings, and lead pyramid roof with weather vane. Interior: An internal porch leads to a pair of 3-raised-and-fielded-panel doors and a brick staircase (east) to the gallery. In the Music Room plastered pilasters, with ogee moulded caps, support plaster panelled tie beams, each with glass chandelier. At the south end of, the room there is a raised dais and screen of plain Roman Ionic columns supporting a moulded beam. At the rear of the dias four unfluted Roman Doric columns flank two flush doors and a niche with urn. A central fireplace, on west wall, has ogee architraves and moulded mantelshelf. The door opening below the gallery (north) is flanked by book cases and there is a reeded frieze to the doorcase. The doorcase is flanked and surmounted by panels framed in gilt mouldings and there are similar moulds to the gallery capping.
