Steeply pitched roof with deep eaves, three gabled dormers with 3 3 pane casements, stack behind ridge to the left and external to the right gabled, this one has three off-sets, both have rebuilt red brick shafts. All the joinery details are Victorian. Right gable wall has a small 6 over 6 pane sash on either side of the stack on the ground floor, small casement to outshut on right. Left gable wall not seen.
