In each gable is a blind loop. The 3-bay S front has tall cross windows R and L with marginal glazing, and sash windows in the upper storey, similar to the front. The 3-bay rear is also similar to the front, with a replaced door to a central porch, French door lower L and cross window lower R. In the upper storey is a 2-pane sash window to the L in an original opening, and margin-lit 12-pane sashes to the centre and R. The service block is on the N side.
