Stacks in side walls with red brick shafts.

In circa 1985 the house was converted into a nursing home, a single storey flat roofed addition was built on the right hand side in the angle with the rear wing, but the plan of the main house has been largely retained. External: Symmetrical 3 bay front .

Good central doorway with moulded architrave with fielded panel reveals and an entablature with fluted frieze and dentilled cornice which is broken forward at either end where is is supported on console brackets. The symmetrical 3 window rear elevation has 2-light sashes with glazing bars and central first floor round-headed stair window with original sash with radial glazing bars. The service wing on the right hand side at the rear is 2 storeys with a hipped roof and a lower gable-ended roof at the rear; C19 2 and 3-light casement windows with glazing bars. C20 single storey addition in the angle at the front with a flat roof. Interior: Narrow entrance hall with a segmented arch to the stairwell at the rear which has an open-well (almost a dog-leg) staircase with stick baluster and moulded handrail ramped up to turned column newels and an open string with scroll tread ends.
