The roof, added in the late 19th century, is a mansard design covered with slate and includes segmental pedimented dormers. The rear elevation is constructed from squared rubble and has margined sash and case windows, also with four-pane glazing. At the center of the rear, there is a full-height projecting brick stair tower.
