In front wall the doorway, to left of projecting stack, has a C16 or C17 chamfered wood frame with very worn stops; plank door, probably of C19 with inserted light, has C20 imitation strap-hinges screwed on. Hood above of corrugated asbestos carried on early C19 shaped wooden brackets. Windows in front wall are of 2 lights, except for left-hand and middle ground-storey windows, which are of 3 lights. Side-wall to road has 2 windows in each storey, of 2 lights except for a 3-light window to right of second storey. In the ground storey, level with chimneystack on roof, is a large projection, possibly an oven. Rear wall of wing has a single 2-light window in second storey.
