Near-symmetrical front (north-west) and rear, with recessed centres brought forward at the later stage: 2 storeys and attic, 2.2.2 windows. There are hipped roofs to each side, and a parapet to the centre. Walls in English bond, slightly- cambered openings, plinth. Sashes in exposed frames. The doorway is an arch formed by a plain architrave, with C20 panelled reveals; the set-back entrance (in line with the old front wall) having an architrave and 6-panelled (2-top-glazed with patterned bars) door. The rear is similar, the centre being a gable with a stepped stack above a hipped-roofed verandah on 5 (turned) baluster poles, with a ½-glazed door. There are late C20 extensions at each end, in similar style. Within, there is panelling of 3 periods: C16 linen-fold in the stair-well, C17 in one room and early C18 in another.
