The outer left bay is advanced and has a half-pitched roof, while the outer right bay is also advanced, featuring a party wall and an apex stack to the south, with single windows on both floors.

The rear elevation includes a gabled two-storey projection with an apex and an outer wallhead stack, along with a single window on the return. The south elevation is gabled with an apex stack and has a secondary door to the left, as well as a small modern lean-to addition in the re-entrant angle with the rear projection. The north elevation features a secondary door and single windows on both the ground and first floors to the right, along with a central wallhead stack.

The house has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and a slate roof with lead flashings, complemented by three apex stacks and two wallhead stacks.
