The first cell has a six light with a king mullion and a six light above. The second cell has an eight light with a king mullion and a three light fire window , with a four light and small arched light above.

To the rear, the central bay has two double chamfered mullioned windows, one of two lights, the other of three lights, set at different levels to the first floor and probably to light the stair.
