Outer ground floor tripartite sashes without glazing bars. Off-centre doorway with stone lintel and 6-panel door. Continuous drip courses. Eaves- level probably raised early C19. Addition to left with single- window fenestration in plain raised surrounds - leaded upper floor casement. Gable end chimneys with chamfered caps. Half gable of later rear wing is recessed to right, with doorway having heavy timber lintel and folding plank door having early ironmongery including dated plate, this presumably moved, possibly from central front doorway.
