The west elevation has three bays, with a single-storey canted window at the ground level flanked by single-light sash windows. On the first floor, there are tripartite windows flanking a single window. All windows are architraved and corniced, with lugged detailing on the first floor. The sash windows either have plate glass or 4-pane glazing. The north flank porch is stepped back, corniced, and has a blocking course, along with an architraved doorway.
Additional architectural features include a moulded band course at the first floor cills, eaves strings, and deeply overhanging timber bracketted eaves. The roofs are slate, with corniced axial and wallhead stacks. The rear elevation is finished in stugged coursed ashlar.
