Weathered string courses between floors. Chamfered gable copings on cut kneelers. Later central stack.

All windows are double-chamfered, some blocked, some part-blocked. Ground and lst-floor windows have dripmoulds. Chamfered gable copings on cut kneelers. The left return has an external stone stair leading to a narrow attic doorway with chamfered surround and a small 2-light overlight with small dripmould.

Interior: the roof is supported on raised trusses, possibly designed that way rather than heightened.
