To the rear all windows are C19 including a tall round-headed stair window. The later wing is of 2 lower storeys, with recessed flat faced mullion windows of 3 lights to each floor. In this part is a segmental-arched fireplace with the arch formed of 2 stones incised to give the appearance of joggled voussoirs, The older part is said (provisional list) to contain a fireplace and a carved panel with coat of arms but access was denied.
