Re-entrant angle between wings flight of steps descends to basement doorway and sash. To right of front gable large corbelled external stack with three diagonally set square flues with cappings, and sunk panel with `BALLIOL HOUSE¿ and `1843¿, beyond small two-light dormer. Rear wing has high outer gable.
