All stacks with brick shafts, Main stairs placed in rear wing, service stairs to rear of passage. 2 storeys. Exterior Front: roughly symmetrical 3 window range. First floor with 4-light timber casement windows, all with cyma recta surrounds, the outer windows with cyma recta mullions and jambs, those to the middle window ovolo moulded. Ground floor: 5-light casement window to either side of doorway, both with cyma recta surround, jambs and mullions, and with timber hood mould which is probably C19. All windows with 10 leaded panes per light. Right hand end with no windows, gable wall rebuilt in brick. Left-hand side elevation with 2 first floor casement windows of 5 and 2- lights respectively, and a large 4-light window to ground floor of wing. Lean-tos to rear. Interior: left-hand room with 3 cross ceiling beams. Only one plaster panel survives of the ceiling, single ribbed, interlocking diamonds with flanking ogival forms, and angle sprays; 2 of the beams retain their original plaster guilloche decoration and ovolo moulding. Right-hand room with deeply chamfered ceiling beam in hollow step stops. Early fireplaces may survive concealed in both rooms. Wing end fireplace remodelled in C19. Some good C19 joinery; the doors and ventilator of the former dairy survive intact. The plaster ceiling is noticed by K and C French, 'Devonshire Plasterwork' Trans. Devon Assoc. 89 (1957), p. 129.
