The roof was originally of Horsham slabs but has mostly been refaced with tiles, one section being pantiles. Casement windows. Two storeys. Three windows to each wing. In the C18 the west wing was doubled by a portion facing the road. This has two storeys and three windows and is faced with red mathematical tiles. Modillion eaves cornice. Hipped Horsham slab roof. Glazing bars intact. Doorway with engaged columns, pediment, semi-circular fanlight and door of 6 fielded panels. Small circular window on each side of the door, inserted about 1920.
