Front with 2 short projecting wings; mid C19 bargeboards with foliage designs in relief to the gable-ends. Small-paned sash windows in deep reveals; the right cross- wing has a long tripartite small-paned sash window with rounded head; a Romanesque slit-window in the apex of each gable. Entrance centrally placed between the 2 wings, beneath a high portico supported on paired Tuscan columns with enriched necking to the capitals; a half-glazed door in a moulded surround.

The cross-wing is jettied along the front and side, with a plain corner post. Early C19 bargeboards with traceried mouchettes and spike finial. An internal chimney- stack to the main range, with a rebuilt shaft set below the roof-ridge. Small-paned sash windows in flush frames.
