Right-hand, corner of front is chamfered at ground floor aid has windows matching those at the front. Graduated slate roof with 2 inserted dormers, 2 chimneys on the ridge, gable coping with kneelers and apex finials.

Continued to rear, the added wing in C17 style has a gabled crosswing at the further end and a 2-storey canted oriel in the angle, with embattled parapet, and mullioned and mullion-and-transom windows like the others.
