The ground and first floors have similar single, two, and three-light casements. The central entrance has a 19th-century four-panel door, topped by a projecting gabled canopy with a stone slate roof, supported by carved double brackets. There is a partially blocked window with a keystone and a blocked doorway, also with a keystone, to the right of the front door. The house has axial and gable-end stacks.
