To the east of this window, there is a plank door with a continuous dripmould above it. Above the door, there is a similar window that is now a 3-light window but was originally a 5-light window. In the gable above, there is a 2-light window of the same style. The fenestration is primarily from the 20th century, with some small paned casements and others with single panes. Recessed to the east is a 20th-century porch with a 20th-century casement window above it. Further east, the barn features a single door and an adjacent window.

The east elevation has a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, which was formerly a 5-light window, with a continuous dripmould above it. Above this, there is a similar window that was originally a 4-light window. The western elevation has four 18th-century flush mullion windows. Inside, the building features ovolo moulded beams, a large voussoired arched fireplace, and a heavily moulded beam over a large ground floor window.
