Three light and two 2 light wooden casements on first floor and canted bay, 5 light mullioned and leaded window and glazed door on ground floor. The end left bay with its jetty returned to left is a C19 extension. Right return with framing in St.Andrews cross pattern. Wing added to rear C16/C17, of 2 storeys and garret with half-hipped roof and stacks to right and to left, the latter with massive sandstone base, offset and tumbled-in English bond brickwork and truncated flue. Glazing bar sashes on each floor. Panelled door in lean to outshot to right of rear wing, and single storey extension with stack to rear left.
