Small-pane sashes with flat arches of gauged brick. 6-panelled entrance door with semicircular fanlight and panelled linings. Good portico porch with modillioned cornice on Ionic columns, approached by a flight of 12 limestone steps with wrought iron handrails. The service wing has a separate entrance with similar but smaller flight of steps. Good Adam-type fireplaces and grates. A limestone tablet, apparently from another building, is built into the service range. It has the Bacon emblem (the figure of a pig) and beneath it the date 1630. In early C19 an attic storey was removed from the main range.
