To the left, there is a 3-bay facade with three mullioned and transomed windows beneath barge-boarded gables at the eaves level. The ground floor includes one 4-light and two 3-light casements, one of which has square paned leaded lights, all featuring cambered brick relieving arches. The right section of the building is timber-framed and square in plan.
