South-west front: central first-floor 2-light small-paned wooden loft casement (reduced - see straight joint to right) and loft opening to left. Central boarded door with segmental-headed overlight consisting of horizontal-sliding glazing bar sash. Blocked inserted window to right. Blocked C16 doorway to left with chamfered wooden lintel, partly obscured by probably C18 brick and stone external steps up to boarded loft door. Left-hand gable end with segmental-headed 2-panelled door and right-hand gable end with wooden cross window to loft and blocked inserted ground-floor doorway. Rear: old 3-light wooden loft window off-centre to right with chamfered mullions. Boarded loft door off- centre to left, approached by flight of external brick and red sandstone steps.

The stable is sited very close to the rear of Lea Hall (q.v.) and was probably built at the same time.
