A single-storey rear extension from the 19th century is also present. The first floor has six closely spaced windows, along with one 18th-century bay window to the left. To the left of the building, there is a fine panelled door with a decorative surround, sheltered by a porch supported on thin Tuscan columns. The ground floor features four sash windows, while the first floor has seven sash windows. Inside, there is a moulded timber buttoned ceiling on the ground floor.
