Each bay of the upper floors has a window, with the second floor windows being smaller and set hard under the eaves.

The south elevation features a gable with small windows, one located to the right on the ground floor and another to the left on the second floor. There is a low screen wall to the right that provides access to the rear.

The east elevation at the rear is irregular with three bays and a shallow bow at the center. To the right, there is a projecting lean-to extension that is pebble-dashed.
