Roughcast rendered walls with render plinth course. Square-headed openings to first floor having concrete sills, six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and timber shutters. Square-headed openings to bay windows with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and flanking four-over-four pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed opening having spoked fanlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors. Brick steps to entrance. Pair of square-profile rendered piers to south-west with double-leaf cast-iron gates and rendered walls having cast-iron railings.
