Ground floor single-light casement to left with 2-light immediately below eaves. Shaped stone gutter brackets; original stone gutters and downpipes removed and replaced by standard C20 fittings. Central ridge-mounted chimney with cluster of 4 shafts, some C20 rebuilt. Parapet gabled ends: north east with central buttress, ground floor 2-light either side and C20 replaced 4-light above with relieving arch; quatrefoil gable vent. More alterations to south west end, 2 single-light ground floor casements, with C20 metal casement in rendered gable; quatrefoil gable vent. Rear: off-centre parapet gable with 2- light casements; segmental arched doorway below, hoodmould grouping with 2-light to right. Interior not inspected. Similar in design to Scar Hill (q.v.) but without the gabled stair wing.
