It features 14 panels of square-framing. The ground floor, from left to right, has a 3-light casement window with glazing bars and a central opening, a doorway with a plank door, a similar window, a small 20th-century window, another 3-light casement, a doorway with a plank door, and a fixed light window with glazing bars. The upper floor has a 2-light casement with glazing bars, another similar casement, a smaller 2-light casement, and a 3-light casement. All openings have flat arches.
