Two tall corniced ashlar chimneys on the ridge; gable barge-boarding. The wing at the south end is one low storey, with a doorway flanked by a 1-light window to the left and a 2-light mullioned window to the right. Rear: projected gabled centre like the wings at the front (window damaged at time of inspection); 2 tall narrow windows each side, all with transoms and margin panes.
