The south elevation has two storeys and two bays, with stacked 2-light flush mullioned windows that have 19th-century glazing bar casements. There is a later doorway at the west end, which includes a 20th-century four-panelled door. On the rear wall of the main range, there is a single light window with a 17th-century surround located at the centre.
