Large 4-centred coach doorway with plank doors set centrally between. Lower square tower in wall set-back to left; various 2-light mullioned casements with pointed heads. East side: irregularly planned curtain wall with circular tower having loop slits, trefoil lancets and pointed doorways; conical tiled roof. Low archway adjoins in wall.
