Square-headed openings to rear, first floor, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and continuous render sill course. Camber-headed opening to rear, ground floor, with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window. Camber-headed opening to bay window having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window with flanking one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows.
