To left of porch 2 windows with box-framed, 2-paned sashes. To second storey 2 further windows with box-framed sashes; 1 with 2 panes per sash over the porch, the other with 8-paned sashes to left of it. Above the latter, in third storey, a 2-light casement window with 2 panes per sash. Left return, facing Fore Street, 1 window in each of second and third storeys, both with 6-paned sashes.
