The ground floor features 16-pane hornless sashes, with a central narrow window on each floor that has a shallow architrave and sash glazing; the first-floor window has a diaper central pane, while the ground floor has a small pane configuration of 4 over 4. To the right, there is a screen wall with an iron gate leading to the garden.

The porch connects to the neighbouring house.
