Lower 2-storey block to SW angle with hipped pyramidal roof, and lower outbuilding continuing to S.

The openings have large wedge lintels, the windows mainly 8-over-8-pane hornless sashes with stone sills. Central panelled door with top lights, reached by 4 stone steps, with rusticated stone jambs and wedge lintel. The window above the door is narrower and 6-over-6-pane.
