The 18th-century part has a central door with two rows of three narrow panels, and tripartite sashes in the outer bays. The upper floor has 2-light leaded casements. The gables are made of brick and there are flanking stacks. The left bay features a tripartite sash on the ground floor, a 2-light casement on the first floor, and a gable stack.
