Square-headed door opening; painted timber four-panel entrance door with carved moulding to framing, bipartite plain glazed overlight; painted timber double doors with tripartite overlight to east end of front elevation, lower panels vertically-sheeted, upper panels glazed and horizontally sub-divided.
