Above is a 2-light window with a stone surround with slight chamfer and a flat-faced mullion. The main part of the facade has a single-storey canted sashed bay window on each side of the door. Above on the 1st floor are 5 2-light windows with flat-faced mullions, and surrounds with slight chamfers. The door between the bay windows has a plain stone surround. Chimneys on gables and on each side of- middle doorway. The right-hand (north-east) gable has a plaque inscribed: 'Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Emily Bronte lived here as pupils of the Clergy Daughter's School 1824-25. The school was moved to Casterton 1833.' An engraving of the school in 1824 shows the facade substantially as it is today, but with a school room adjoining at right angles at the left.
