To the left is a 18th to 19th-century bay made of flint with narrow brick dressings and an old tile roof, which is one storey and has an attic, featuring irregular single lights and a small gabled eaves-line dormer, as well as a blocked door to the right. A 20th-century brick extension of two storeys projects to the right.
