Similar smaller 4-light windows to first floor, without king mullions. The north and south front wings have similar 3 and 2-light mullioned windows, 2 with hoodmoulds raised above the lintels were probably reconstructed in 1907. The north wing has a 1907 Tudor arched doorway under a hoodmould on the south side. The west gable end of the north wing has 4 tall chamfered 1-light windows, 3 similar windows and one 2-light mullioned window to the south wing. Elsewhere the house preserves 1907 fenestration; 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-light timber sashes, mostly with high transoms.
