Central 5-panel door with heavy mouldings and glazed top panel, in original wooden porch with 2 round columns with simple bases and caps, each side; 2 stone steps. Low-pitched roof with wide overhanging eaves. Each stage of the service range is set back, with 2 cast-iron casements on ground floor and one on first floor; some crown glass on first floor; segmental arches. Cement rendered dado at front and left side. The gable end has many blue headers; moulded wooden cornice forming a pediment at the gable. RAILINGS AND GATE attached at front left corner; wrought-iron stanchions with cranked stays, 3 original cast-iron urn terminals (3 exact replicas being cast at Rayne Foundry, 1989); wrought-iron railings with spearheads; cast-iron sill on brick plinth; gate with dipped top rail and original spring latch, all wrought-iron.

A special feature is that the original external brickwork of the rear wall with fine incised lines in the mortar, now limewashed, has been preserved in excellent condition by the early addition of the lean-to corridor. The original louvred shutters merit special care. The boundary wall to east of the property has a stone tablet stating that it was built and owned by JN GODFREY, 1839.
