The north or entrance front has nine windows. The three centre window bays project and have a string course. The end window bays are of lower elevation and are surmounted by pediments. The window dressings and quoins are of red brick. Glazing bars intact. Corinthian porch with wide round-headed doorway beneath it containing a round-headed tympanum and double doors of six panels. On the south or garden side the facade forms a centre and two wings. The centre has two storeys and five windows with an eaves cornice of white brick. It is flanked by single storey portions or corridors of four Ionic columns each, which have since been filled in and now contain two windows and one doorway on each side. Behind these portions rises the back elevation of the house which is still of two storeys. On the outer sides are two pavilions of one storey only but of higher elevation than the corridors and with pediments over. Glazing bars intact.
