There is a wide corniced entrance at the centre, with a circa 1900 panelled door with narrow side lights and a decoratively carved lintel on console brackets. The south return gable has a single first-floor window. There are three circa 1900 pedimented slate-hung wallhead dormers, and corniced and panelled stacks to the slate roof, which has a pottery ridge.
