Left return wall has 2 windows on each floor, at 2nd floor both oval, but below this all different: those on the left are both of 3 recessed lights, each light having a moulded surround, but that at 1st floor is ogee-headed; those on the right both 2 lights with chamfered surrounds, but that at 1st floor has round-headed lights with shallow moulding. There is a square moulded panel for a datestone on the band between ground floor windows. The projecting porch to the rear of this side has large quoins, moulded doorway with large lintel, above which a band carries round the whole; and a round-headed light at 1st floor level of the rear wall. To the rear the 2-bay 2-storey house of coursed sandstone rubble has a slate roof, gable chimneys, and on the west side 2 windows each floor, that on the right at ground floor recessed with 2 mullions remaining and a hoodmould, others altered (east side wall has been brought forward).
