The windows are modern casements, and there is a solid porch that matches the wall pattern, also featuring a hipped roof. The northern part of the building is a timber-framed house with 18th-century cladding made of painted brick in English bond, which includes a first-floor band, while the other two walls are tile-hung and have modern features. Hook Hatchet also has a small flush stone plaque inscribed with "IBAB," and the flint panelling is visible on the other three sides of the building.
