Rubble walls with brick dressings to windows at front of main block. Rubble gable end stacks and tall lateral stack at rear. Grouted slate roof with gable ends. Plan obscured by later alteration; main house likely to have been 3 room and through-passage with lower room to right. Hall heated by rear lateral stack, lower and inner room by gable end stacks. The original purpose of the block to the left is uncertain; it appears to be C17 and is likely either to have been a separate cottage or to have formed some sort of annexe to the main house. At present the main house plan shows the influence of C19 alterations with 2 principal rooms to the left separated by a stairwell inserted between hall and inner room which formerly had a door at the front of it. To the right end are the former kitchen and service rooms. The cottage was of 1 room plan. 2 storeys.

C20 2-light casement windows. Main house has 4 window front and door to right of centre. Centre left window on ground floor is late C20 bow with small panes. Other windows are early-mid C19 16-pane sashes without horns. C20 part glazed door has C19 rectangular fanlight above. C19/C20 outshuts at rear. Interior of cottage has 2 substantial cross beams, one is forked at one end, both are roughly chamfered. The principal rooms of the main house have C19 features such as panelled doors and shutters. The middle room has a small open fireplace with plain wooden lintel, probably C18 and a similar inserted one on the rear of the stack in the outshut. To include rubble stone garden boundary walls extending to the front from either side of the house. The one to the south adjoins the road and is very tall.
