Between the entrance bays is a three-window range with sashes, and hoods on scroll consoles above the ground floor windows. The end bays feature a single tripartite window on each floor, set within stone architraves with rectangular apron panels at the first floor level. The end windows have sashes with two panes, margin lights, mullions, and margin sashes.
