Right of the porch the wall of the hallpart is of dressed stone blocks, and has on each floor a recessed window of 6 large lights with chamfered mullions, square king mullion, and a hoodmould (probably C19), the upper flanked by small round-headed windows.

Otherwise, all windows are C19 alterations; and rear of right wing has recently been rebuilt.
