The main entrance is on the left-hand side and features ground and first-floor windows that are square-headed with mullions and transoms. Second and third-floor windows are ogee-headed. A spire rises from the tower, topped with a lead crocketed finial. The entrance itself is ogee-headed and features richly carved pilasters. The original door remains in place.
