South elevation of the house has a central doorcase with flanking single light windows to east and a recessed section with door and two-light window to west, each opening with rounded brick jambs and stone lintels with rounded corners and head. Above to east there is a gabled dormer with two-light window and to west there is a C20 addition with two two-light windows. All windows have segment headed lights.
