The west elevation has a boarded timber door with a letterbox fanlight, along with irregularly placed timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
To the west, within the outer wall, is The Wee House, which has a square plan and includes a glazed door with timber windows. Its piended roof is currently undergoing replacement, and it also features cast-iron rainwater goods.
