South front: three hipped dormers and two tall stacks behind ridge. Two storeys and attic; regular five window front, glazing bar sashes in open boxes with red brick gauged heads, those on first floor slightly shallower than those below. Central blind panel on ground floor with gauged head. Shallow, and very narrow, recessed wing to left with one very narrow window on ground floor. Entrance front: irregular L-plan with slightly recessed entrance under pebble-dashed arch on projections to left.

Three-flight open-well stair with turned bulbous balusters and ramped handrail, this part probably reused. One room with reused C18 fireplace with herm pilasters.
