Front elevation: ground floor has three oriel windows on carved brackets, each with two splayed mullions and transom and tiled weathering and moulded architraves; the left and central bay has a gabled dormer with two-light casement and the right gabled jettied end has a three-light casement with the restoration date "1841" in the apex. Each gable end has a gabled timber-framed and balustraded porch, and a ledged and battened door with a moulded architrave and an attic light.
