The porch has an early 19th-century doorcase featuring Tuscan pilasters and an entablature. Single sash windows are positioned on either side of the porch; the ground floors of the wings have triple-hung sashes. The central three windows on the first floor are two-light Yorkshire casements. The first floors of the wings have single sashes. The left-hand attic gable contains a 17th or 18th-century two-light casement with leaded glass, while the right-hand gable has a Yorkshire casement.
