The ground floor windows consist of 6, 6 and 3 lights respectively, and the first floor windows have five 3-light openings. All windows feature recessed flat-faced mullions. Shaped eaves gutter brackets are present. Brick ridge chimney stacks and coped gables are also visible. The rear elevation has 2, 3 and 4-light windows.
