L-shaped plan. Original entrance front to west: two-storey, 2:3:2 front; cross casements with bolection surrounds; Nos. 2, 3, 6 and 7 blocked to first floor and 2, 5 and 6 to ground floor; moulded plinth and eaves band; raised string at first floor level stopped short of rusticated even quoins at angles and even quoins of the three-bay centre break surmounted by pediment with low-relief festooned cartouche in tympanum (C20 stack to right of pediment); central entrance with moulded surround, enlarged keystone and corbelled, and broken segmental pediment (now blocked by casement window).
Former five-bay south elevation now with alternate cross windows blocked, thus reducing the number of windows to three to each floor, rusticated even quoins and string at first floor level.
