Asymmetrical 2-window front, with a shallow wing projecting to the front at the left end with a coped gable with kneelers. Moulded stone eaves band to main block. Moulded-arched doorway to right of wing with carved spandrels. 3-light high-transomed stone-mullioned window to right of doorway. Wing has similar 4-light window with relieving arch.
