Large lateral front hall stack with batter and offsets, shaft heightened in brick. 2-storeys 3-window range of C19 2-light casements 8-panes each light.

Lean-to garage at right end with corrugated iron roof, covering blocked raised doorway to gable end. C20 extension to rear with lean-to corrugated asbestos roof.

Plank and muntin screen to through-passage, 3 planks wide to right and single plank wide to left of 4-centred arched doorway. Stairs inserted at left end have slightly reduced the length of the screen at this end. A further screen formerly divided hall and inner room, but only the headrail and shoulder-headed doorframe are in situ: the planks, one of which has the incised figure of St Dorothy carved on it, have been reinstated into their original positions, the headrail and shoulder - headed doorframe remaining in situ.
