The roof is covered with plain tiles and has gabled dormers also finished with plain tiles. There are axial and gable chimneys made of gault brick. The windows are 20th-century small-pane sashes set in their original openings, which have flat arches made of gauged brick. The entrance is marked by a 20th-century open porch with a gabled plain-tiled roof and a six-panelled entrance door.
