The ground floor windows have been fitted with renewed wooden and metal frames, while the upper floor features 18th-century casements with crown glass. The front door leads to a 20th-century porch that includes leaded glass quarries, and there is a 19th-century brick porch with a pitched slate roof. The attached outbuildings also have rubble walls and a lean-to roof made of Roman tiles.
