The roof is thatched and hipped to the right, with two eyebrow dormers that have tiled eaves below and a central ridge stack. The building has a lobby entrance type design with two framed bays and is 1½ storeys high.

This section is also 1½ storeys high and features two-light and one-light segmental-headed casements to the left, along with a boarded door to the right that has a 20th-century gabled porch.
