Doorway between gables with C20 door and small casement above. East side of range has later cross window fenestration. Projecting forward to west from right gable is 2-gable range, probably a later addition (now Rooksmoor) with 2-window cross window fenestration below each gable on north side; 2-light casement with hoodmould to attic gables, left recessed cavetto mullioned, right chamfered mullioned with oval above. West gable end: 2-window fenestration to cellar and ground floor, cross windows to ground floor under combined hoodmould; 2-light cellar casement to left of doorway with plank door and timber lintel.
