The first floor has two three-light mullioned casements and a two-light 19th-century mullioned window with cusped lights and a hoodmould to the right. A 19th-century gabled dormer with a two-light casement is present in the roof, with a coped verge to the right.
The right return features a three-light beaded mullioned casement on the ground floor and a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould on the first floor. The rear wall is made of brick and includes a 20th-century lean-to extension.
