The windows are alternately trefoils and double trefoil lights with trefoils above, all with leaded lights. Buttresses divide the bays and there is a plinth. There are two gabled projections, the rear with window, the front with porch. The porch has collar beams and wooden brackets and a double door with elaborate cast iron hinges. Wooden seats flank the door.
