Originally a 3-room-and-through-passage-plan house facing south-east with former inner room at right (north-eastern) end. End stacks to former inner and service rooms and rear lateral stack projecting to rear of hall. Outshot to rear of hall and inner room includes truncated and disused newel stair well.

Gable-ended roof. Hall stack has diagonal chimney shaft. Interior shows mainly features from C18 and C19 refurbishments; there are plain chamfered crossbeams in all ground floor rooms, hall and inner room have rubble fireplaces with plain-finished oak lintels, and service room has C19 brick fireplace with a reused C16 chamfered and pyramid stopped floor beam as the lintel. C17 roof over hall carried on uncollared trusses with threaded purlins and C19 roof trusses over service and inner rooms - the latter made up from reused medieval sooted timbers.
