The entrance is to the east face of a small gabled porch and consists of a timber door. The windows are flat-headed and have two over two timber sash frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building is set on a roadside but separated from the road by a small garden enclosed by thick hedge.

• The Old Barracks, RIC barracks, 1840–1845 · Regional interest

On the west face of the porch is a small granite date stone. The windows are flat-headed and are filled with six over six timber sash frames and top-hung replacement timber frames.
