A stack is located off-centre to the right at the rear, and a further stack is on the left-hand side. The front has three framed bays. The windows are a 2-light segmental headed casement on the right, a central 4-light casement, and a 3-light segmental headed casement on the left. A 20th-century gabled porch with a boarded door is situated on the left.
