Panelled door to left in bonded ashlar surround. To right a large two-light mullion window to each floor, both in square-faced surrounds with wood casements. Ashlar ridge stack with band and cornice.

Rear: C17 part has a casement in early deeply chamfered surround, to its right an inserted doorway through a former two-light double-chamfered mullion window opening. Square-faced window surround to first floor.

Left return: to right a section of altered walling indicates a removed lateral stack. Right return: to right, square-faced surrounds to a window on each floor, recessed mullions. To left of windows a chamfered, quoined doorway. Matching end stack to rear.

Ground floor ceiling of C17 part has stop-chamfered spine beams jointed into matching transverse beam. Stop-chamfered common joists.
