A well composed elevation, the central 3 bays being slightly advanced and having giant Ionic pilasters above a rusticated stone ground floor. Otherwise the elevation is brick with rusticated quoins, first floor band and a coped parapet with recessed panels in the outer bays and balustrades in the inner above a cornice. Central door with overlight and dropped keystone with date and coat of arms below a pedimented window on the first floor. All the windows of the central 3 bays have stone surrounds whereas those in the outer bays have fiat brick arches, keystones and stone sills. Glazing bars have been removed from windows on all but the top floor and some of the side windows. The hipped roof has 2 ridge chimney stacks. Wings to either side of later elates.

Flat rear with 9 windows on each floor and a central pedimented door with coat of arms and pilasters.

One stair has a deep moulded rail on column-on-vase balusters, column newels and a cut string whereas the other, which is C19, has a swept rail, plain square balusters, a cut string and a wreathed stop to the rail. The house is an important and imposing example of Leoni's work. It is one of only a few which survive in the North-West of England. Victoria Country History of Lancashire, 1911.
