Entrance bay is off-centre right: of rusticated ashlar with segmental arched parapet incorporating cartouche; round-arched second floor window and 2-light first floor window with extended keystone are flanked by enriched Ionic pilasters. Ground floor entrance has matching bracketed hood on giant pilasters.

Intervening bays (from right the first and fifth) also have a 3-window range of similar sashes but with a decorative entablature to central second floor window under a swept segmental-arched gable with with small pierced light, flanked by piers with orbs terminating the balustrade above the dividing pilasters.
