A small plaque inscribed JS 1779 is centred at first floor. The set-back bay to the left has a four-pane sash at each level, and the former forge has two C20 casement dormers above a two-light casement and a blocked opening. The gabled return has a two-light casement and a wide garage door. There are two main gable stacks, that to the left to a raised verge, and a stack to the wing, left.
