To the right, there is an original plank door with stone voussoirs forming a flat arch. The ground floor has a three-light window on the left and two-light windows on the first floor. All windows have segmental brick arches, slate sills, and contain original cast iron casements with glazing bars arranged in a lattice pattern, featuring narrow margin panes. The roof is hipped at both ends. The interior has not been inspected.
