Main L-plan block with longer arm to east, lower infill to internal angle. Symmetrical south front in 2 storeys, 3 windows, all 12-pane sashes, larger at ground floor, and with central pair of French doors; this was entrance, with stone portico, before alteration of C20 wing.

Right return is 5 windows, mainly 12-pane sash, but centre ground floor has arched head, 2-light casement and radial bars. Entrance front, to west, is C20, with two 12-pane sashes and a part-glazed door in C19 pilaster surround to arch and pediment. Top gable end plain, and left of entry is a large external stack with a bell set to pentice roof at eaves level. Interior has window shutters to ground floor, and various early C19 doors. The large parlour in south-east corner has enriched C17 panelling with continuous frieze, brought in from a former house on the site; the fireplace wall is C20 facsimile panelling, and has roll-mould granite fire surround probably also from previous house. Another fireplace with bolection mould surround and carved overmantel. The bell bell probably the time-keeper for the C19 farm hands.
