The roof is tiled and includes three gabled dormers and brick end stacks. The southwest wing has two arched sashes and two Venetian windows, all with glazing bars, along with one dormer and brick stacks. On the northeast side, there is a six-panel door with sunk panels and a fanlight, also flanked by fluted pilasters.
