Four-square corbelled stack to centre, further stacks to front re-entrant angles and to rear. Half-hipped roofs over end wings with diagonal brick eaves cornice to left, scalloped-edge bargeboards to right. One 5-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor of each wing, that to left under a cambered head. One leaded 4-light window on ground floor of each wing. One mullioned and leaded 5-light half-dormer window to either side of centre on first floor; small 2-light leaded casements in first floor re-entrant angles. Mullioned and transomed canted bay window to ground floor right of centre, square bay window left of centre; both with moulded transoms and lintels.
