The ground floor of this section is constructed from flints, with a visible corner post.

It features an eaves bracket cornice and has one bay on the first floor with a cove beneath it and a sash window with intact glazing bars. The remaining windows throughout the building are casement windows. The building has a hipped tiled roof, is two storeys tall, and has four windows. There is also a cellar or undercroft.
