Right-hand side, 3 windows at first floor, one C16 3-light stone mullioned casement window with leaded lights and hood mould, 2 late C17 mullion and transom cross windows, casements with lead glazing. Below these windows at ground floor 2 C18 windows, sashes with glazing bars and exposed frames. To the left a C17 projecting gabled porch, semi-circular stone arch with moulded arch rings and imposts. The left-hand section of the front breaks forward and has two 3-light casement windows with leaded lights.
