Below is a similar 3-light window with hoodmould either side a moulded Tudor arch leading to a recessed doorway. Left gable end has part-projecting stack but is otherwise blank. Right gable facing has square bay with 4-light and single-light windows and a 3-light with hoodmould above. To right on rear wing a 2-light window and to far right the single-storey wash-house with blank gable facing. To left is the gate screen.

The gates have decorative ironwork and an elaborate overthrow with scrolls and repousse' flowers and foliage. The pedestrian gates either side have Tudor arches with hood moulds and decorative ironwork gates. These structures form a fine and picturesque ensemble and are part of the significant group of the model estate buildings of Ashton built by Charles Rothschild.
