The window bays on each side are of 3 sashes only with gable over each that is slightly lower than the centre gable. Flanking this central block are small single storey buildings looking inwards. with no windows facing the road. At the outer ends are small similar blocks at right angles with a gable over each and a window facing south in the east one. Then low garden walls, with an opening in the centre of each, joint the last to the South ends of the East and West sides of the court-yard which consists of 2 storeys and 1 window each with a gable over.
