Now roughly T-plan (south wing has been demolished in C19), consisting of two bay hall range (extended to left in place of former wing) with projecting porch to left, and crosswing at right end (and later lean-to addition in rear angle extending beyond the wing).

Rear gable of wing has remains of a very long hoodmould at first floor, a blocked three-light attic window above, lacking one mullion. All other openings altered or inserted. Ridge chimney in line with porch; altered chimney on wing. History: much altered, but wing has large chamfered beams with tongue stops lateral partition recently removed).
History: belonged to Catterall family of Little Mitton, descending in late C16 to the Kighley or Keighley family, Catholics, who mortgaged (1693) and subsequently lost it, the last of the Keighleys having quit the country after taking part in the 1715 Jacobite rebellion; the demolished part contained a small Catholic chapel: reference Fishwick Goosnargh pp.155-9 (Other similarly altered hall-houses in this parish include Bullsnape Hall and Blake Hall, and Ashes and White Hill farmhouses, q.v.)
