Gabled porch at centre with slightly advanced, 4-light window to right, tripartite in stone gabled dormer above; tripartite to left and bipartite gabled stone dormer above; advanced gabled bay to outer right comprised of tripartite window to front at ground (replacement mullions) and carved ribbon bearing name 'Sinclair's Hill' below bipartite in gablehead above, bipartite on return to left. Substantial modern addition to rear.
