Two storeys, 3:2 bays; early C19 3-light leaded iron casements in farmhouse left, later C19 3-light casement right under brick relieving arch, other window opening bricked up, 3 and 4-light C19 and C20 casements ground floor, entrance between first and second bays left, 6-panelled door. Small unglazed 2-light stair light discovered ground floor left when plaster removed and during renewal, plastered over. Long rear elevation backing on to road, unlit except outshot, first floor two early C19 3-light leaded iron casements under segmental relieving arches, ground floor one 5-light casement, modified, under flat lintol left of plank door.
