Two 3-light casement windows with 2 cross-bars to lights to each storey, and a shallow-pitched enclosed gabled porch of c.1900. An early C19 one-and-a-half storey lean-to addition with slate roof along the rear. The room to the south of the stack has an ornate plaster fireplace: arched opening, roll-moulded surround with small modillions and an incised central motif. Main beam has stops with scroll and bar. Joists replaced: the original joists were set on edge, and may have been covered by an ornate plaster ceiling.
