East wing: formerly an open roofed hall mainly C15, a north-south range of 2 storeys, the southern part restored and integrated with the house. Red tile roof, missing above the ruined northern section. Walling is in malmstone, mixed with flint and in part roughly rendered, with stone dressings, a diagonal stepped buttress at the south-east corner and a fragment of a buttress at the north-west. There are single and coupled lights, with cusped heads, within rectangular frames with indented spandrels, stone jambs and mullions: these have diagonal leaded lights under the roofed part. A C15 doorway at the north end and 2 similar doorways on the west side, all with pointed arches. The 'Gothick' restoration features include a pointed arched doorway at the south side and next to it a 3-light wooden window above a 3-light mullioned and transomed window both with pointed lights. An attached chimney breast has a later top, with stone dressings, end- ing in coupled brick octagonal Tudor-style flues, another stack is missing its top. The 2-storeyed Tudor brick porch projects at the west end, being linked to the east wing by the rear part of the C18 work. The front has a gable above a (restored) brick oriel, a small recessed panel, and a 4-centred arch set within a rectangular frame. The two outer corners have octagonal buttresses with small pointed tops, a moulding at the top and intermediately, and a high plinth. The red tile roof merges into the later part: the walls are red brick English bond. South front: C18. A symmetrical facade of 2 storeys and attic, 7 windows. Slate roof. Large tapering chimney stacks to each end gable, 4 flat roofed dormers with casements, simple moulded cornices, fully-moulded modillion cornice, returned at ends.

The rear part of the main block has a 3-gabled form and more modern units extend northwards from 2 of them,one (with hipped roof) linking to the east wing, the other a short gabled wing on the west side replacing a larger Victorian wing demolished recently.
