Cornice to hipped roof with central feature rising above eaves and having channel-rusticated strips flanking a keyed oeil-de-boeuf beneath cornice and balustrade. Gabled roof dormers above bays 3 and 5 and to each wing. Rendered and corniced ridge stacks to left wing and to each side of the central recess. Left return: 5 bays. Central 6-panelled door-and fanlight with glazing bars in eared architrave within a stone-columned porch; tripartite sash to bay 1 otherwise sashes with glazing bars to ground floor and 24-pane sashes to 1st floor; 2 crested rain-water heads.

Fireplace in entrance hall has iron firebasket in ribbed iron panel with fluted wooden surround; similar fireplace in original central entrance hall. In 1668 John Battie (1616-1676) purchased the manor and added to the existing hall (indicated by increase in hearth tax returns). His son, John Battie 2nd, (1663-1724) added the present house which Ralph Thoresby, after a visit in 1703, noted was '.... very pretty for the size, but scarcely finished ....'; Battie became deputy Lord Lieutenant for the West Riding in 1715 (Holland p.6). Reduced to present size in 1945. Became offices of British Ropes; undergoing conversion to conference centre adjacent to Doncaster Moat House Hotel at time of resurvey (1987). D. Holland, Warmsworth in the Eighteenth Century, 1965 D. Hey, Buildings of Britain, 1550-1750, Yorkshire, 1981, p.81 (plate).
