To the left is a later addition, incorporating three and two lights (on the ground floor) and a ten-light recessed flat-faced mullion window (on the first floor), a lean-to conservatory, and two-light gable windows. Bay four contains a door with a square-cut surround, and bay five is a 20th-century addition. Two ridge chimney stacks are present. The rear of the house has 20th-century window openings. The building is included on the list for its group value.
