Red brick in English bond, with scalloped tile-hanging at 1st floor, dressings of matching red terracotta, sandstone surrounds to some openings, and tiled roof with broad fishscale bands. Irregular double-pile plan. Queen Anne Style. Two storeys, with asymmetric 3-bay elevations to south, west and north; dentilled string courses and a frieze of foliated terracotta tiles between floors carried round, and tall chimneys decorated with pilaster strips up to corbelled cornices. The entrance front to the south has a broad 2-storey gabled porch offset left of centre, with a stone plinth, a wide doorway and flanking cross-windows all in a moulded stone surround; 1st floor jettied to the sides, with a stone mullioned oriel in the centre; and swept eaves with tiled oversailing verges and an apex finial.

The 3- window west and north fronts are in similar style: the west front has (inter alia) a Projected 2-storey bay window to the right, canted at ground floor but rectangular at 1st floor, with mullioned windows on both levels; and a roof half-hipped to the left. The north front has (inter alia) a projected gabled bay offset to the right with a canted 2-storey bay window, a timber-framed and pargeted gabled oriel to the left with 2 cross-windows, a narrow half-dormer breaking the eaves to the right, and 3 tall chimneys.
