Similar vertical strip at each angle forms square grid pattern. 6 shouldered arched windows, 1 bipartite, with blocked architraves and cill and lintel-level band courses. Bracketted eaves.
End elevations similar stonework, band courses and grids. Bracketted eaves to gables. E gable blind, with modern stair adjoining, W gable has doorway (modern door) and window altered to door (now blocked), reached by steps clad in cyclopean masonry with wrought-iron railings.
