Rubbed brick segmental-arches to mid C18 8/8-pane sashes above 6-pane casements with thick glazing bars in exposed frames. Blind windows in the 3-bay end towards the Officers' Terrace (qv). The W side of 3 storeys has a central hoist bay on each level, with concrete lintels over remodelled ground- and first-floor openings; second-floor windows with segmental arches over 8/8-pane sashes with thick glazing bars.
INTERIOR: mid C20 concrete frame; late C19 queen post roof with diagonal bracing. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: stone-coped brick wall bounds the front yard, and excludes the attached C20 buildings; C20 gates and C18 flanking piers with upper stone blocks.
