Its return sides have 2-light mullioned windows to the upper level. The main range has a chamfered plinth and some blocked slit-breathers at ground floor level (both sides now covered by added cart sheds). Each gable wall has 3 shippon doorways at ground floor, the central doorway enlarged (and that at the west end flanked by C19 windows) and the outer ones with chamfered surrounds but now blocked, a chamfered loading doorway in the centre of the upper floor (that at the east end blocked), a vertical owl-hole near the apex, and gable coping like that of the porch.
