Early C20 extension to rear of stack. 2 storeys. Ground floor, original bowed tripartite sash of 4-12-4 lights. First floor, 2 C20 casements in original apertures.

Above the ground-floor bow is a shallow bowed balcony with moulded soffit, and cast iron railing with panels of diaper design, all original. Plain parapet with stone coping. Left roof concealed by parapet, right roof hipped. Original stair with moulded treads and tread-ends, stick balusters, slender cast iron newels, and wreathed handrail. The stair rises in one half-U flight to first floor, where a gallery with similar balustrade extends forward and across the front to a blocked door into St. Mary's House, to the left (item 9/265, q.v.). Niche with domical head in curved wall at head of stair. Heavy studding and girt in rear wall exposed internally. Some weatherboarding on the rear wall is enclosed by the roof of the early C20 extension. C20 grate in ground-floor room. Early Victorian cast iron grate in first-floor room, with reflector splays, and acorn and fleur-de-lys motifs in low relief, in moulded wooden surround.
