Asymmetrical 6-window front of late C20 small-paned 2-light casements apart from a 4-light bow window to the right on ground floor, and 2-light mid C20 metal-frame casement to the left. 2 C20 stable-type doors under thatch hood, one to right of centre (into original passage) and one into the addition at left-hand end whose roof has a different pitch to the main part.

Unsusbstantial feet of straight principals visible on 1st floor probably indicate a C19 reroofing.
