Main feature is full- height 3 window bays to left, glazing bar sashes with echoing panels in parapet. Lead rainwater head to left and 10 ft boundary wall linking with Bengal House (qv). Spear head rails on dwarf-stone walls to road. Rear Extension: Long and T-plan with mullion and transom windows.

Ground floor room of west wing has richly moulded beams and plaster. The first floor bay window room in the east wing is an excellent example of the period, half-panelled and with many original fittings. One room in rear wing is fully panelled with moulded late C17 panelling. More moulded beams to west wing in upper rooms. The roof structure of the C17 parts is solid late C17 indicating that the rear wing post-dates the west wing; in the former one curved collar.
