The window details include ovolo-moulded mullions for No 1 and cyma mouldings for No 2. On the ground floor, there are a single light window and a 3-light window with hoods and a door for No 1, as well as a 3-light window with a hood and a door for No 2, both featuring ovolo mullions. Additionally, there is a lean-to with a stone tiled roof against the north wall.
