Sandstone ashlar plinth; slightly-recessed centre between corner pylons; in the centre a wide semicircular archway with banded convex moulding framing a segmental-headed doorway with double doors, above this a six-light mullioned window divided into three pairs by triangular king mullions rising from corbels below the sill and terminating in block corbels to a moulded cornice, a high parapet above this displaying in the centre a shouldered panel inscribed 'A D 1911'. The corner pylons each have a recessed centre with a three-stage, six-light window with an apron below and in the parapet above a raised panel with swags at the head, the parapet stepped up behind this. The left (north) side has openings for the drive cables to the winding gear; the south side has inter alia a three stage, fifteen-light window, and the rear a six-light window. In front, to the road, a rectangular garden is enclosed by a brick wall with stone coping, with two steps down, linked to a similar front wall stepped up to frame a gate with wrought-iron gates in Art Nouveau style.
