Entrance with chamfered surround, with a recent addition, to left of house body, to right is three-light double chamfered window, with the same to first floor. The left wing, within the later dwellings, has a blocked five-light double chamfered window formerly with hood-mould. The right wing formerly had one three-light double chamfered window to each floor, that to ground floor now altered, and one mullion is missing from upper floor. The right side elevation has central doorway (probably C18) and one three-light and one four-light double chamfered window, both altered, plus several recent windows and one blocked fire window.

Interior: chamfered and reed-moulded beams to house body.
