The street front has 5 pointed lights with cusped heads and in dog-tooth arches, all linked by a drip-mould with carved stops, and divided by foliate capped colonnettes, probably inserted in the later C19; the lights filled with small-pane casements. At the ground floor 2 wide lights with small-pane casements and to crude pointed arches flank a lower square opening with a pair of French doors, and there is a further door and inserted openings on the right return.
