Square-headed openings to side and rear with timber sliding sash windows and replacement uPVC windows. Round-headed opening to rear, partially blind, with square-headed replacement uPVC window. Square-headed openings to extension with one-over-one pane timbers sliding sash windows. Round-headed opening to front elevation with roll moulded surround, doorcase comprising fluted columns flanking timber panelled door with cornice and spoked fanlight above. Approached by flight of cut limestone steps. Five-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear with hipped corrugated-iron roof and cast-iron rainwater goods, square headed openings with some one-over-one timber sliding sash windows remaining and square-headed opening with timber battened door.
