Pediment with oculus over the central 3 bays which are set slightly forward: the central bay has a two-storey canted porch with pedimented doorcase. Single storey canted bay windows to the ground floors of the projecting end wings.

The rear elevation is similarly symmetrical. This has a central recessed 5 window section with parapet and urn finials to the ends; the shaped parapet wall follows the roof slope of the returns of the adjacent bays and have similar urn finials to the ends. The attic storey has ocular windows; five small-pane sash windows to the second and first floors. Extruded single-storey cycle shed blocks with curvilinear parapet walls.

Beyond these are 5-window blocks set forward again; 3 windows to ground floor with central splayed bay. Flanking 5-bay hipped sections also advanced, with 12-pane sashes as before and central canted bays to the ground floor.
