To the south, there is a canted bay window with plain sashes, and to the north, a three-light segment-headed casement window. A blank wall is located beyond to the south. The north gable wall features a plain sash window on the ground floor, with a two-light casement window above and several blocked breathers.

The western range, dating from the mid 19th century, has a blank elevation to the north except for a centrally located plank door. The south side includes five sets of double plank doors to the west and a plank door flanked by small pane windows to the east. The interior features sawn timber collared trusses.
