Ground floor has late C19 canted bay windows with stone mullions to either side of C19 gabled timber porch over central half-glazed door with margin lights. C20 three-light casement with wood lintel on each floor to hip-roofed extension. Slightly projecting straight joint above and to right of entrance with another marking end of first extension to east. Ridge stack (former end stack) directly above this with shaft rebuilt in concrete; integral end stack to left also with shaft rebuilt in concrete. Cellar to left end. North (farmyard) side: main range in 3 bays; C19 casements and 2- and 3-light mullion windows, those to first floor directly below eaves, windows to left in slightly projecting break marking first extension to east.
