The main west front displays two corner posts and remnants of an intermediate post. To the left, there is a plank door with plain jambs, and to its right, two Yorkshire sash windows, all with segmental heads. Above these, there is another Yorkshire sash window, and above that, a pantiled sloping dormer featuring a Yorkshire sash.
The north gable has a 19th-century brick addition with a pantile roof and a casement window, topped by a weatherboarded gable peak. The rear elevation shows, to the left, a blocked door, and to the right, a plank door flanked by a 20th-century casement window on the left and a Yorkshire sash on the right. The south gable retains part of a bay post and an intermediate rail, with an off-centre door flanked by single Yorkshire sashes, and above, there is a single casement window.
