Square-headed openings with timber casement windows to south-east end of front elevation, and timber sliding sash windows to north-west end of front elevation, six-over-six over door, others being tripartite, six-over-six flanked by two-over-two. Square-headed door opening with timber battened half-glazed door approached by flight of concrete steps.
