The 2-window L gable end has similar windows, and the R gable end has a similar attic window over an integral 1-storey range. This faces the yard at the rear of the house. It has 2 open bays in the centre, double boarded doors to the R and single boarded door to the L.
The rear of the house has a single 2-light window in the upper storey on the L side. To its R is a lower 2-storey 3-window rear wing with a continuous lean-to facing the yard and continuing around the S gable end. The wing and lean-to have mostly replacement windows.
