Central glazed door and plain overlight. 12-paned sash windows to both ground and first floors, some horned, and slate sills and lintels. 6-paned single sash windows to the attic floor, under a boxed eaves. The left (S) gable end is rendered.
Interior
The front door opens to a through stair hall, ending with a scrolled dog-leg stair with stick balusters. Kitchen opens to right. Bold architraves to main doors with rosettes at the corners.
