Delabole dry slate and asbestos slate roofs mostly with gable ends but hipped on south-east, south-west, north-east with lateral and gable stone stacks, with slate drips and some with brick shafts. Irregular plan originally 3 room and through passage plan with 2 storey porch, now consisting of main range with central 2 storey porch facing north-east. To left a 2 storey circa C17 projecting wing end to rear left another 2 storey circaC17 wing making a T-shaped plan. Irregular 2 storey north-east front, 2 storey porch has late C16/earlier C17 4-centred granite arched doorway with leaf carving in spandrels and label with stops and carved 'C' on each. C20 glazed doors. Above C17 3 light granite mullioned window and C20 small pane glazing. Wing to left has blind gable-end. Between wing and porch is blocked door opening on left and 2-light casement to right in narrow opening. Old 2-light timber casement over each with 15 panes also in narrow opening. To right of porch King mullion 4-light granite moulded window with hood mould and labels. Glazed 10 pane timber casements. Matching window to right of lateral stack is blocked. The walling above is partly rebuilt following removal of original windows. North-west gable end has smaller matching 4-light granite mullioned window with King mullion, labels etc and larger matching pattern window below. Small dressed and moulded stone stack on gable apex. Rear of main range irregular design incorporating 2 stone raking buttresses of unknown date. C20 glazed door under slate pent roof over cross- passage doorway with old 2-light timber casements under timber lintels to right and above, one 8 panes per light, the other 15 panes per light. Some blocked opening. Wing to rear left has lower roof with massive external stone stack on gable adjoin- ing. Single storey addition. South-east elevation has off-centre brick chimney shaft rising off gabled projection and irregularly arranged 2-light windows on each floor.

Interior shows much alteration although the original plan and later development of the building is still evident. The features are mostly covered up but it is possible that much remains. The original kitchen fireplace with timber lintel and stone jambs survives. The staircase which was inserted into the service room is of dog leg form and retains one flight of mid-C18 dated with turned balusters and closed string. Roof structure has been replaced. An unusually complete Cornish house for its date and standing.
