Some decorative slate-hanging in gables. The west front of the house is E-plan, in the Elizabethan style and seems to preserve some original work in situ, although the extent of the rebuilding is difficult to determine. The rear is less archaeological, and consists of 4 irregular picturesque projections, 3 gabled and 1 half-hipped. The masonry of 1 rear projection is probably C16 or C17. 2 storeys. Symmetrical front with front projecting wings at left and right. Central 2 storey porch with string course and gabled sprocketted eaves to roof.

Similar smaller 4-light windows to first floor, without king mullions. The north and south front wings have similar 3 and 2-light mullioned windows, 2 with hoodmoulds raised above the lintels were probably reconstructed in 1907. The north wing has a 1907 Tudor arched doorway under a hoodmould on the south side. The west gable end of the north wing has 4 tall chamfered 1-light windows, 3 similar windows and one 2-light mullioned window to the south wing. Elsewhere the house preserves 1907 fenestration; 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-light timber sashes, mostly with high transoms. Interior 1 small room panelled throughout with bolection moulded panelling, including cupboards on either side of a fireplace. 2 reconstructed Tudor chimney pieces in the hall.
