On ridge near the right-hand end a late C16 or C17 granite ashlar stack with tapered top.

In second storey the 2 left-hand windows are 6-paned wood sashes. The right-hand window is a small 2-light wood casement with 2 panes per sash. Left-hand gable-wall, the present entrance front, is 2 windows wide. Doorway to right has 4 panels, the 2 lower panels flush, and a moulded brass knocker. To left of it is a single-storeyed canted bay window with a slated pent roof. In second storey are 2 wooden 6-paned sash windows. The garden path outside this front has an old cobbled surface.
