The windows on the ground and first floors are sashes; those in the top floor are casements and they have louvred shutters. Between the first and second floor is a cast iron plaque which is possibly a fire mark or Germanic coat of arms.

The property has been well-maintained and recent improvements include the replacement of the roof. The property does require further modernisation.
