The entrance, offset R of centre, is within a gabled porch, which has a roof of diamond-pattern slates behind a coped gable, and replacement double boarded doors. There are small windows in the side wall of the porch. In the gable ends are inserted windows in the ground floor, on each side one in the main range and another in the outshut.
