Cyma reversa ashlar cornice. Shaped kneelers, ashlar coping. End stacks, that to left stepped and external. Projecting forward from left end of building a 2-storey wing, most of which is a C20 remodelling of an older single-storey range and not of special interest, but bay nearest main range, containing the staircase, is of special interest, and on its right return has tall round-arched staircase sash window with radial glazing bars, in keyed architrave with large cornice capitals. Rear, main range: central blocked ashlar doorcase with architrave jambs with chamfered banded rustication to their outer sides, and extended lintel with tripartite keystone and jewelled motifs in outer corners; 2 bays of C20 24-pane sash windows. To right, gabled end of older range has glazed door in plain ashlar surround and to its right an external stack. Left return of older range: on each floor a tripartite sash window in hollow-bolection-moulded keyed architrave, and to their right on each floor a small window; ashlar coping. Left return of staircase wing: portico with unfluted Doric columns supporting Tuscan frieze with blocking course above. Interior: William-and-Mary style doors of 6 fielded panels, the central panels being the smallest, and matching window shutters; main ground-floor rooms have early C19 ceilings with marginal decoration which indicates that a cross-passage was then formed from the front door, with reeded decoration to passage and room to left, and acanthus scrolls to room to left; dogleg staircase with elaborately turned balusters; first-floor saloon has bolection-moulded panelling, and moulded cornice which breaks forward over west windows.
