A small pantry with loft stairs in the anteroom is separated with a plank wall.By the main entrance in the flank front there is a roofless porch supported by four pillars. The framework is assembled of pine logs fixed according to the traditional method with the logs ends protruding or extending from the edges of the walls in the corners (‘v oblo’). The roof is a nailless construction.
Decorative window trim (shutters, head and sill pieces) enclose the windows completely and feature on the head elements. Three supplementary ornamental details (rectangular pyramids) top the ‘heads’. Each of the ‘facial’ boards is actually a board decorated with three tiers of carvings; in the first one onychoid hollows are found, in the second one rectangular cogs, in the third one rectangular cogs coupled with circles; the edge of the ‘facial’ board has curvilinear carvings.
On the ends of ‘facial’ boards there are trapeziform drops to see; a swirling-type rosette is on the upper part, a zigzag is below.
