The ground floor has cambered brick arches and a deeply revealed square-headed doorway topped with a cornice hood supported by shaped brackets. There is a late 19th-century rear wing on the left with a low-pitched slate roof, and the rear elevation above the ground floor pentice shows exposed studs.
