Welsh slate renewed hipped roof; also some re-used local slate. 5-bay centre formerly 2½ storeys, lowered to 2 storeys in 1970's. One-bay links to wings which project to form a courtyard. Centre block has rusticated quoins, renewed 12-pane sashes in architraves and a mid-C19 porch with pedimented doorway, rusticated quoins and cornice. Wings 5 bays, 1:3:1. Projecting 3-bay centres with rusticated quoins. 1½ storeys. Windows in architraves. Right and left, on ground floor blank, elliptical arches rising from imposts. A window or door in each arch.
