Wide doorway with a pair of Doric and Ionic engaged fluted columns, the inner ones slightly recessed, with rectangular fanlight and door of six fielded panels at the head of two steps with iron handrail. Small C19 shop window to the south of this. The south front (Stringer's Hall and Stringer's Cottage) has four windows. Partly red brick and grey headers, partly red mathematical tiles, partly weather-tiles. Two curved bays on ground and first floors with cornices over. Glazing bars intact.
