Additionally, there are three other ground floor openings that have been inserted. On the first floor, there is a single blocked taking-in door with a quoined surround and massive lintel, along with various ventilation slits.

Inside, the building has a double purlin roof supported by collar and tie beam trusses, with braces extending from the principals to the upper purlins.
