The front has a central window and two lower windows to the left, all situated under a pentice drip hood. Additionally, there is one window in the single-storey range to the left. A front stack is located to the left at the junction of the ranges. The gable end on the left has a door with double doors to the left and a window above. This building is included in the register for its group value only.
