Front and back gable ends have arch-braced tie beam trusses.  Square crown posts above with wavy down braces.  Steeply pitched roof projects both ends and has cusped bargeboards.  It is surmounted by a wrought iron cross.  Low double gates also with wavy braces and good original shaped iron hinges.
