The central bay has an elliptical-headed entrance with paired doors that have strap hinges, and there are plain entrances next to the windows. The inner return of the fifth bay has an inserted garage door. The first floor includes ventilation slots and a lunette with small-paned fixed glazing and an opening light in the central bay, while the end bays have round-headed openings with corbelled sills and shutters. The left return features a sashed window with glazing bars, and the right return has a first-floor entrance accessed by stone steps. The rear of the building has a lateral stack.
