Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, replacement six-over-six and three-over-six (top floor) timber sash windows having louvered timber false external shutters (replacement uPVC casement windows to rear (north) elevation). Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Square-headed openings to right ground floor remodelled with glazed timber panelled door having fixed-pane (three-light) flanking timber window.
