All windows have moulded stone surrounds. The ground floor has three four-pane sash windows. The first floor has three-light casements, except for the window in the third bay, which is a one-light casement. A tablet bearing the inscription "D W E 1742" is located to the left of the left-hand bay. Other features include shaped kneelers, moulded coping to the roof, end stacks, and a stack on the ridge opposite the blocked entrance.
