The roof is punctuated by ridge chimney stacks. Quoins appear on the rear ground and first floors only. The left gable has a dressed door surround, a 20th-century window, and three two-light windows with recessed cavetto-moulded mullions. The rear of the house has 20th-century window openings, as well as a three-light recessed flat-faced mullion window on the top floor.
