The west wing is the oldest part of the building, with the north end featuring two storeys. The west front has two first-floor three-light casement windows and two modern French windows on the ground floor. The south end also has two storeys and attics, with the west front showcasing a gabled dormer, a first-floor four-light casement window with leaded panes, and a ground-floor four-light mullion and transom window to the right of a 19th-century porch that has lattice sides and a curved hipped roof. The south wing dates from the 19th century and is divided into two units.
