Single-bay slightly lower wings in matching style have two-centred arched front and rear doorways, coved niches to left and right respectively, and similar parapets; the right-hand wing contains a wooden two-seater earth closet, and the other may also have been a privy. The rear cell has a doorway in the east side (blocked) a two-centred arched window in the west side, with a square window above, and a parapet like the front.
