To the right of the door is a 16-pane sash window, while to the left there is a 16-pane sash window and a single-light casement, both framed with brick surrounds that have moulded brick hoods. On the first floor to the left, there are two 2-light casements, and to the right, there is a 16-pane sash window in a cross-gable. The house has an end stack to the left and a centre-ridge stack. The interior has not been inspected.
