Hall range of 2 framed bays, projecting gabled cross-wing to left of 3 framed bays and later gabled wing at rear to right. 2 storeys and attic.

Large external brick end stack to left with 2 star-shaped shafts and pitched-roofed link to attic, and lateral brick stack at rear with 3 star-shaped shafts. 3-window front; late C19 wooden mullioned and transomed diamond-leaded casements; first-floor window to right and first-floor window in gable end with moulded cills, possibly the remains of former oriel windows; late C19 nail-studded boarded door between first and second windows from right with strap hinges and 3-part rectangular overlight. Lean-to additions at rear. Interior: hall with chamfered beams, carved scrolled brackets, moulded cornice, fluted post as pilaster to north with carved scrolled bracket; inglenook fireplace altered in the late C19 but incorporating C17 carved panels and other work; dining room with ogee-stopped chamfered beams, and open fireplace with store reveals and overmantel with some C17 work and painted rural scene (probably formerly part of a larger painting); drawing room with ogee-stopped chamfered beams, moulded cornice, and corner fireplace with reused C17 panelling and early C19 (?) surround; first floor with chamfered jowl posts, moulded cornice, screen with reused C17 panelling and balusters, and C17 panelled door with fluted frieze; staircase with turned balusters; roof with single purlins, and collar and tie-beam trusses with V-struts.
