The left extension incorporates an earlier brick wall to first-floor level. The rear elevation has 3 French windows with marginal lights and a half-glazed door under a latticed wooden canopy with glass roof, and 3 first-floor windows similar to those at the front. In the right return one window on each floor in front of the brick wall is similar to those at the front. Much original crown glass in all windows. The central entrance- hall extends through the house, with a richly ornamented semi-circular arch at the junction of the 2 ranges.

The belvedere incorporates C18 wrought iron casements, moulded mullions and saddle bars.
