The flanking bays have smaller blind arches on the ground floor, and there is
a brick band at springing level across the whole facade. At first floor level
there are small square sash windows with square-leaded panes. Brick dentil
eaves cornice. On the roof over the entrance is a square clock tower and a

arched carriage entrances with original doors and a 7th in a later extension.
