All the windows are horned 6-over-6-pane sashes with flat heads. The S gable end is rendered with a buttress to the centre and a flat headed doorway to its R containing a recessed late C20 glazed door. To the rear (W) of the earlier range is a stairlight with timber lintel and plain glazing, flanked by narrowed window openings under segmental brick heads with late C20 glazing. Skylights to roof pitch. The rear (N) of the later house has a small window to each storey towards the L. To the far L is a small corrugated lean-to. Single-storey outbuilding adjoining E gable end.

The earlier house has a central staircase hall. Dog-leg staircase to rear with plain balusters and heavy moulded handrail.
