Two storeys. Front has, left of large stack raised in brick, two single lights with transom, one at mid-height to stair. To right of stack a 2-light with transom and a 3-light similar, brought forward under leaded flat roof; these flank pair plank doors to basket-handle arch and surround with spandrels. First floor has two 2-light; set to stopped drips, continuous drip course to parapet, raised over windows, and with 3 crow-stepped gablets. Gable stacks in brickwork with sunk panels. To left and right a rubble turret set diagonally, with battlements corbelled out; left turret with small sash to shouldered head, and blocked slit, return face has deep-set C20 glazed door.
