The windows are late 19th-century three-light casements with segmental-arched heads, and there are boarded entrance doors from the 19th century. Inside, some timber-framing is exposed, and there is a blocked unglazed mullioned window on the first floor.

Additionally, the left-hand cell was added in the 19th century.
