Starting from the left, there is a canted bay with a Swithland slate roof and a two-light window in the gable. Next, there are two two-light windows with two dormers above them, followed by a gabled stone porch with a door on the right. On the left end, there is a timber open work porch with a door, and on the right end, there are a three-light window, a two-light window, and a two-light dormer. The ground floor windows feature slightly cambered lintels.
