Coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings, quoins, coped gables with moulded kneelers, central ridge stack, one gable stack, and a concrete tiled roof. Central lobby-entrance plan, with double gabled rear ranges, one a staircase wing. South elevation of-2 storeys and attics, 3 bays, with gables to the outer bays. Central doorway with quoined surround and massive lintel below a drip mould. Plain plank door. Flanking the doorway are stacked 2-light chamfered mullioned windows, those to the attics within the gable apexes. All windows with drip moulds. Above attic windows, small oeil-de-bouef windows beneath drip moulds. Ball finials to the base of each gable slope, mounted on tapered finials. West elevation with stacked 2-light chamfered mullioned windows to gable of front range, and two C20 2-light glazing bar casements in the west sidewall of the western rear wing. This has an altered C17 doorway, retaining some parts of a quoined surround, and now with a C20 planked door. There is also a small C17 opening, possibly a fire window, now blocked, above which is a blocked inserted first floor doorway. Running above the fire window, and the inserted C20 casement, is a roughly dressed-back string course, formerly a C17 moulding covering doorway and window openings. The western rear wing continues at a reduced height, the result of C19 and C20 alterations, and retains a C17 two-light chamfered mullioned window between an undamaged portion of the C17 string course. The double-gabled rear elevation has staggered windows to light the stairs at landing and half-landing levels, and an attic light, 5 in total, each 2-light chamfered mullioned openings beneath drip moulds. The gable to the western range has only 2 blocked single-light attic windows, and the roof line of a lower continuation, below which the walling is rubble work. INTERIOR: exposed ceiling timbers to ground floor rooms. Remains of a moulded plaster cornice to the eastern parlour, and stone hearths to both ground floor rooms, the hall or house part with a recently added C17 timber overmantel with elaborate ornamentation. The house has a fine splat baluster staircase.
