Each window flanked by Ionic pilasters, with rusticated quoins on the outside. Modillion cornice, parapet and curved pediment over the centre window bay. Ground floor windows flanked by pilasters with cornice over. Doorway with engaged columns. Round windows in moulded architrave surrounds on first floor, the centre one flanked by plaster figures of children bearing caskets of flowers.
