Central tower with saddleback roof surmounted by ship weather vane (modern), flanked by blind attic gables. Eaves bands, to tower and main building, of Radyr stone over pale freestone; moulded kneelers throughout. Sashes without glazing bars to both floors, square headed to 1st floor, paired and taller to centre and camber headed below with voussoirs and stilted labels. Similar label to central entrance extends either side over narrow flanking windows, that to left has been converted for use as a letter-box; granite nook shafts with foliated capitals and panelled double doors with overlight. At the base of the tower is an inset compass face with rope moulded surround; deep stone lintel and tall, pointed relieving arch above; blocked triangular headed opening to the top.
