The south side includes a red brick addition on the left, with thatch carried over, featuring an upper pair of casement windows under an eyebrow dormer, a door in a 20th-century lean-to porch, and a two-light cyma-moulded flush stone mullion window to the right. To the right of this addition is a painted brick section with a door facing south. The north side also has a similar eyebrow dormer.
