To the left gable end, there is one hung sash window with glazing bars and a canted bay that has similar windows. The right gable end also has two hung sash windows. Inside, the ground floor room of the left cross-wing displays 18th-century panelling, fluted pilasters flanking the fireplace, and a round-headed niche. The ground-floor room of the main range also features 18th-century panelling.
