Garden front: a symmetrical four window elevation with a central projecting single storey porch flush with the fronts of a two storey gabled bay window to either side and a further window on both floors to left and right. Each bay window of four lights with mullions and upper transom and a ventilator in each gable. Windows at either end are two lights with similar details: all are externally ovolo moulded and contain fixed upper sashes and lower sashes which slide up behind the transoms. All sashes have horizontal glazing bars. Central porch has a Tudor arched doorway with moulded surround and carved foliage in the spandrels; pair of panelled and glazed doors with overlight are probably original. Parapet over porch has a central gable above an uninscribed panelled plaque. Across the south front soffit moulded drip courses at first floor level and below parapet. Parapet coping is carried around bay window gables and end gables. The east double gable wall has three windows of one, two and three lights with mullions and upper transoms with a ground floor canted bay window with embattled parapet to right. The north (main) entrance elevation is also irregular with three windows and stack to left. Left of centre the entrance doorway similar to doorway on the south front.

At west end of north front, a high stone wall is set back slightly and contains several blocked ovolo moulded ground floor windows to former service wing. The wall returns to enclose a small service courtyard and extends to north to connect Paschoe House with Paschoe Cottage (qv). The return contains a blocked two-light ovolo moulded window and a large Tudor arched carriageway with richly moulded jambs leading to the courtyard.
