Moulded round arched doorway beneath entablature with flanking Tuscan pilasters; imposts and keystone. Cornice above entablature rises over armorial shield. Three-light cavetto mullioned casement above with hoodmould continuous between buttresses. Ground floor cross-window to left of porch, 6-light wide mullioned and transomed casement to right.
