It has a plinth and the cross wing projects to the left, featuring a hipped roof with gablets and stacks positioned centrally to the right and at the right end.

Similarly, the ground floor has three wooden casements, and a 4-panel door is located centrally to the right, sheltered by a gabled hood with pierced bargeboards, a pendant, and a finial.
