Additionally, there are two small stone lights with straight chamfers and triangular heads set in a recessed panel. The front door, located to the left of center, has recessed panels and two top lights, dating from the 20th century. At the rear, there is a wing from the 19th century that includes three-light wooden casements. The cottage also displays a Sun Insurance mark and features a stable door.
