On the ground floor C20 metal framed doorways with plain fanlights in each of the end bays and metal framed windows in the three central bays; on the first floor a cross mullion and transom window with casements in the front of the canted bay with transom lights to the sides; in the bays to either side cross mullion and transom windows with casements in architrave frames with entablatures crowned by segmental pediments on the projecting bays and triangular pediments on the inner bays; on the second floor similar fenestration, except that windows in the inner bays are single lights with transoms, all with moulded stone sills on brackets; in the central gable a three-light mullion and transom window in an architrave frame with entablature crowned by a swan-neck pediment and above, in the apex of the gable, an oculus under a hoodmould; window and oculus are flanked by polygonal shafts capped with spike finials; another capped finial above the apex of the gable.
