Two storeys; continuous dripmould, stepped over shaped lintel of former doorway at left end (altered as window); to the right, the jambs and head of a former recessed mullioned window (removed to make a square wagon entrance) and further to the right a deeply-recessed four-light mullioned window lacking the first and third mullions; at first floor three coupled C19 sashed windows with plain surrounds (damaged or lacking glazing). Gable copings with moulded kneelers; cut-down chimney at left gable, single-flue chimney at right gable. Left return wall has inserted window at first floor; right-hand return wall has a two-light recessed mullion window near the front corner, three inserted windows further to rear.
