On the south elevation, there is a single-storey porch featuring a window and door on the return to the left, which projects to the right of centre. To the outer right, there is a window, a bipartite window at the centre, and two additional windows to the left. The first floor has regular fenestration.
The north elevation includes a full-width single-storey extension with asymmetrical fenestration, a stair window to the left of centre above, and another window to the right.
The west elevation features a single-storey M-gable with a window in the bay to the right.
The east elevation has a gabled design with a window on each floor at the outer left and another window at the outer right in the single-storey extension.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern, except for the ground rear and west elevations.
