Central range has four windows and four doorways with moulded architraves and C20 doors, two of which are partly glazed. Above the central two doors and windows is a painted timber pediment which contains a circular motif enclosing three shields and the word "SALOP". There is a ground floor window and a leaded attic light at the gable ends of both of the wings, and above the attic light is an additional brick band of two courses.
