Segmental-headed entrance door opening, painted moulded render surround, painted timber stop-chamfered frame, painted timber door with four bolection-moulded panels, horizontally sub-divided sidelights with moulded panels under, vertically sub-divided fanlight, limestone step. Two-storey hipped roof outbuilding to south-west.
