The middle storey has unequally placed 12-pane sash windows, the upper storey 9-pane sash windows. The L-hand angle is rebated and rounded. The Castle Street elevation is 4 unequal bays with windows similar to the front, except that the bay L of centre is blind. A doorway L of centre reached up steps has a replaced recessed door and an overlight boarded up. To its R are replaced windows. The L-shaped rear is roughcast. It has small-pane sash windows behind the Castle Ditch elevation and 4-pane sash windows behind the Castle Street elevation.
