Former manor house, c.1730 for the antiquary Cox Macro.

Much remodelled c.1830 for Peter Huddleston. Main elevation stuccoed brick with a band above first storey windows, and a parapet with bold moulded cornice. Low-pitched hipped slated roof with internal chimneys of gault brick, and one C19 lead-clad dormer. Two storeys.

Eight-window main range; a slightly set-back range to right has five windows with a semi-circular full-height bay at the centre. Small-pane sashes. Entrance door with six fielded panels, the oblong fanlight having radiating bars with enrichment in the manner of a fan. Greek Ionic portico porch in three bays, with columns supporting a flat entablature and open balustrading with balusters also in three bays.

South elevation: gault brick of c.1830. Four windows: sashes with flat arches of gauged brick: small panes and blind boxes.

West elevation: red brick of c.1730, with traces of C19 colourwash. A band at first floor and beneath eaves: there is no parapet here. Five windows. Sashes with flat arches of gauged brick: small panes with original thick glazing bars. At the centre is a fine Venetian staircase window with Corinthian columns and pilasters supporting a frieze through which the central arched sash rises. Beneath is a half-glazed panelled door, with Gibbs surround incorporating a moulded cornice. To north at this elevation-the service range is in gault brick of c.1830, and a further lower range extends to left.

Interior: High-quality work of c.1730-40 is in the entrance hall and staircase area, and in adjacent rooms. Fine staircase with moulded handrail and turned balusters; carved enrichment on the staircase and landing and in the dining-room, and possibly by Thomas Ross. These areas have fine joinery including doorways, full panelling and fireplaces. Deeply domed ceiling over tha landing with a painting by Francis Hayman, 1741. An enriched plaster ceiling by, possibly, James Burrough, c.1745 in the dining room. Major early C19 remodelling included the removal of a third storey and the raising of the first floor level at the south end, involving the use of dummy windows.
