It has an open pilastered porch on the ground floor, leading to a panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight. Above this is a tripartite window on the first floor. The attic features a rectangular dormer, and there are basement windows in the flanking bays on either side. The ground floor has a corniced tripartite window with consoles, and there are tripartite windows on the first floor above.

The south elevation is also near-symmetrical, with additions at the basement level. The ground floor is advanced, featuring a central window flanked by 3-light canted windows. The first floor has a bipartite stair window in the centre, flanked by 4-light bipartite windows, and an 8-light rectangular dormer in the attic.
