Painted smooth rendered ruled-and-lined walling, block-and-start render quoins; random coursed stone walling to north-west and south-west elevations. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, uPVC windows, block-and-start red brick jambs with flat-arched brick lintels to north. Square-headed door opening, uPVC door with sidelights and overlight.
