S (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: triple-gabled with keystoned Diocletian window in centre gablehead flanked by small, horizontal tripartite windows in larger gableheads with ball-finialled outer skewputts: lower detail obscured by almost full-width flat-roofed extension.
Small-pane glazing in top-opening sash and case look-alike timber windows. Red pantiles, grey to outer right W catslide dormer. Coped and harled stack; terracotta coped skews, ball-finialled skewputts and decorative cast-iron finials.
