To its right, there is another single window. To the left, there is a two-storey early 19th-century wing that includes a gable stack and a three-light wood mullioned window on each floor. The right side features a two-storey former outbuilding with three windows. Below, to the right, there is a late 20th-century lean-to porch, which is flanked to the left by three windows and to the right by a single window. The interior has not been inspected.
