Bipartite and single segmental-arched window openings with glazed white brick arch and reveals, limestone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows with ogee horns and some cylinder glass. Segmental-arched door opening with glazed white brick arch and reveals, and original flat-panelled timber door with glazed upper panels and frosted glass overlight. Front site enclosed by rendered plinth wall supporting cast-iron railings, which continues uniformly along the terrace. Rendered gate pier to south with original cast-iron gate.
