Snecked limestone ashlar with ashlar dressings and brick additions; plain tiled roof, gable-end parapets with gabled finials and large ashlar ridge stack with two square shafts and moulded capping. T-plan; main range aligned east/west with west cross- wing and bell-tower. Single storey and attic with chamfered plinth. Windows are all chamfered mullioned type and have leaded casements. North front elevation: main part has broad central buttress flanked by 6-light windows which have a king mullion and a transom. Gable end to west has a 3-light window with transom and hoodmould, a 2-light window above and a loophole in the gable apex. There is a lean-to with a catslide roof adjoin- ing the east side in the angle with the main range. This has the main entrance in its north elevation which has a square-headed opening with moulded architrave, a door with a cambered head and moulded spandrels. Above the entrance is a datestone on which is inscribed "RM/ 1876". There is a 3-light window in the angle with the main part. At the east gable end is a 6-light window with two transoms, a hoodmould and, above it, is a 2-light window. The bell-tower pro- jects from the west side elevation as a narrow gabled wing with shallow gabled buttresses each side of the west gable end which continue to just above eaves level. The gable end continues beyond the roofline to form a gabled bell-cote. There is a 2-light west window and a north doorway in the base and a loophole at the eaves level. The bell-cote has an ogee-arched opening with hoodmoulds and large finials on both faces, a pair of gablets at eaves level at each side, a moulded stone roof ridge and tall weathervane. There is a two-storey brick wing parallel to the main range at rear from which projects a hipped-roofed mid-C20 addition (Saint, A: Richard Norman Shaw, London, 1976).
