The two ground floor windows and one first floor window have relieving arches. There is a single blocked attic light on the north end. The rear of the house has a projecting off-centre gable with an upper single light and hood, a 2-light window with a hood to the left, and a 3-light window with a hood to the right. Additionally, there is a single-storey stone-tiled addition on the south end.
