Round-headed window openings with roll moulded yellow brick reveals, limestone sills and timber sash windows. Box-bay with twin round-headed window to north-facing elevation. Square-headed door opening to veranda with timber panelled door and overlight. Decorative cast-iron double gates supported by cast-iron piers with guilloche open work and flanked by pedestrian gates with piers and quadrant walls.
