The walls display flint panels, with brick quoins, bands, cambered openings on the ground floor, and a plinth. The windows are casements, with old leaded lights on the upper section. The entrance includes a half-glazed door. On the north side, there is a 20th-century garage, which has a roof that extends to a low eaves above it.
