The central window on the upper storey has a semi-circular arched head and "Gothic" arched glazing bars in the upper panes. The entrance is marked by a central six-panel door, which is framed by a wooden doorcase that includes a semi-circular ornamental fanlight, panelled pilasters, and an open pediment with fret ornamented dentils.
