A balcony to the 1st floor supported by cast-iron columns extending up to a swept lead canopy with a late C19 fretted fascia, has 2 French windows; that to the right has margin panes. The balcony forms a porch over 2 bays to the ground floor which has banded rustication and a late C19 moulded plinth. A late C19 canted bay to the right, also supporting the balcony, has French windows, the late C19 door to the left has coloured leaded margin windows and overlight. The main block is flanked by buttresses to the ground floor with heavy consoles to the tops supporting the balcony ends.

Room to right of the hall has an early C19 moulded cornice and semicircular-arched recesses flanking a fireplace to the right. Moulded pilasters toward the rear separate the rear section which has a fireplace against the rear wall and a hemispherical-arched niche to the right; it is now divided by a C20 screen.
