Above these, to first floor, is a symmetrical arrangement of four 2-light windows with a continuous dripmould which rises as a hood over a central doorway (stairs now gone). Eleven windows at high level, more closely-spaced over the right end, and relating to the arrangement of the lower openings. Chamfered gable-copings on moulded kneelers to right. Rear: Double-chamfered windows at high level including two of 2 lights at left end.

Interior: Principal rafter trusses with massive tie-beams and intermediate collars.

The building is a particularly richly-decorated example of the type.
