Overall slightly irregular 4 window south front. 2 storey porch towards left with original moulded doorway with hoodmould over (now fitted with window). Opening over reduced circa late C19. Most windows are circa late C19 horned sashes. Present doorway right of porch. C17 3-light window with mullions removed to middle of left hand wall and C17 chamfered doorway at rear of through passage. Interior: C17 or earlier features include large moulded hall fireplace with scrolled stops and moulded chamfered doorway with pyramid stops from hall to passage behind right hand parlour. C18 stair.
