Porch has turned pilaster mullions to leaded glazed doors and windows. 2-light casement window offset above, and small window in timbered apex. To the right of the entrance, a shallow gable projects from the main gable, and has canted bay window with timber gabled roof projecting on brackets above it, and 3-light casement window above. To the rear of the entrance, the main roof slope breaks forward to form a catslide dormer window, above a lean-to rectangular bay at ground floor level. S elevation facing the garden has advanced central gable, with canted bay window to ground floor, and 3-light casement above. The gable is flanked to either side on the ground floor by half-canted bay windows, with red tiled lean to roofs.
