A single-storey porch wing linking the 1850s part to the former garden house has steps up to flat-arched entrance with Doric pilasters, cornice and moulded blocking course, panelled door and overlight. The former garden house is covered with stucco scored as ashlar in places; two windows in south-west side, one to basement flat-arched under a continuous hoodmould; cambered-arched window to ground floor on this side and on opposite side.
