Porch tower 3 storeys. Plinth. 3 steps up to round arch with imposts and keystone, under ornate entablature with worn armorial panel, strapwork and finials.

Apart from fragments adjacent to porch tower, the front and end walls of the main block have fallen. The rear wall shows remains of several doorways and fireplaces, one with a flat-pointed arch within a square frame, under a relieving arch. To rear left, the south wall of the south-west wing shows 2-light windows with remains of diamond-latticed glazing. The north-west or kitchen wing has been much altered and is not of especial interest; a fireplace and dogwheel were removed to Mitford Hall (q.v.).
