First floor windows are two-light ditto, except centre window which has four lights. A weathered string at first floor window sill level is carried round gable end of transverse portion and forms rectangular dripmould over a large three-light double-transomed window (restored) with stone mullions. In gable above is an original two-light window with stone mullions and dripmould. All doorways have four-centred heads in rectangular dripmoulds. There are three two-stage buttresses with weatherings on south side of long portion and four ditto along gable end of transverse portion, where there is also a deep weather-moulded plinth course.
