To left and right 2 storey canted bays; centre breaks forward with 2 tall pointed arch carriageways (blocked) with imposts and doorways either side with C20 glazed doors. The windows have 2-centred gothic arches with stone Y-tracery and casements; rectangular central window over the carriageways. The back range has rectangular windows with C20 casements and C20 extensions. Interior: Some C19 joinery in front; back range used as engineering workshop.
