L-plan: 2-cell and cross passage with service wing to rear. Two storeys plus attic, 5-bays; 2 inserted flat-roofed dormers, all other windows 12-pane sashes with horns, first floor tripartite sash windows in second and fourth bays, brick quoins to window openings, those of the larger opening renewed in yellow stock bricks, intermittant 5-course brick string, centrally placed tablet inscribed with the date 1724 and initials 'R(obert) M(itchell) Esq', ground floor similar fenestration with segmental heads to openings of tripartite sash windows, central 6-panel door, flat-roofed porch carried on renewed shaped brackets. Left gable end bread oven projection. Walls: flint and brick, brick piers and fine pair of wrought-iron double gates to garage entrance. Interior: altered early-mid C20.

Room to right with another C18 bolection-moulded surround fronting a large, blocked bressumer beam fireplace, narrow plank and muntin panelling to room, without cornice or plinth, of early C20 date, similar in bedroom above with cupboards and vernacular-style door furniture. Flat beam with scroll stops and round arched opening throught to service wing; srmains of C18 plank door to brick-lined cellar.

The building has undergone many alterations and it is difficult to ascertain whether the date of 1724 relates to its erection or to the refurbishment of a C17 building; the front range and wing appear to be coeval. This building is believed to have been the manor house of Denton and was latterly the rectory; it was sold by the Church Commissioners in the 1960s.
