On the first floor, there are twelve-pane horned sash windows with plain reveals and stone sills. The entrance to the house is located on the left side of the ground floor, consisting of a four-panel door with long upper panels that are glazed, accompanied by a rectangular fanlight above.

The doorway on the right side has a four-panel door with short upper panels that are glazed and a deep rectangular fanlight with a depressed head. Additionally, there is a three-light transomed shop window with depressed heads and panelled stallrisers.
