A central 19th-century ornamental brick chimney stack is present.
At the rear, there are four 2-light windows on the ground floor, along with one 2-light window and two single lights on the first floor. The right side features an entrance within a 20th-century porch and a 3-light window on the ground floor, with one 3-light and one 2-light window on the first floor. An addition to the left gable is not included in this listing. The interior has not been inspected.
