Upper floor has a gabled dormer with three-light casement window in the roof above the entrance, a flat-roofed dormer with two-light casement window in the roof at the rear, and a four-light casement window with oversailing head in the end gable. The ground floor has wide arch-headed windows with brick heads and moulded string courses, three-light in the gable end, and four-light in the front, to the right of the entrance, with a smaller two-light window to the left of the entrance. The entrance door is set back, beneath a wooden verandah supported on a dwarf brick wall. There is a tall external brick chimney stack with mouldings to the rear and a small brick chimney stack with moulded head on the ridge at the right hand end. The ground floor was extended to the rear sometime between July 2010 and August 2012 (B4).
