To S, 2-storey timber-framed and plastered lean-to with large red brick stack at roof junction, further single storeyed lean-to continues to S end of building, both have C20 pargetting. Other features include a first floor gabled projection on simple posts behind 2-storeyed addition and a C20 weatherboarded lean-to porch to plain back door, also, 2 and 3-light casement windows on ground and first floor of single and 2-storeyed lean-tos. S end elevation: gault brick with hip of mansard roof. Shallow bay window on ground and first floor, both with sashes, 2x4, 4x4, 2x4 panes, string course between windows. Attic sash window 4x4 panes. Brick wall contiuned to W to cover end of rear lean-to, containing small C19 ground floor casement window.
