At the front (southeast) a wall extends at each side, with a dropping curve to a gate pier at the south side, and on the north with a dropping curve and extension (with a C19 window) to a second pier, which stands forward, being attached to the curved end of the wall. The arched windows are sashes. A larger two-storeyed mid C19 wing has been attached to the original unit, being a plain rectangular block with stuccoed walls, small casements and a slate roof: this continues as a C20 extension, northwards from the north end.
