The first floor features 3-light windows, all with 20th-century casements beneath plain stone dripmoulds. There is a quoined doorway with a massive lintel at the southwest end, which is now blocked. At the rear, there is a 19th-century extension that runs at right angles to the main range, along with a shallow semi-circular stair tower at the centre, topped by a small pitched lean-to roof.
