Formerly owned by the Earl of Mexborough. A C16-C17 timber-framed and plastered house, refronted in the C18, with a plain parapet. Two storeys and attics. Six window range (arranged 2:1:3), double-hung sashes with glazing bars, with moulded cornices and sills on stub brackets, and louvred shutters. An open porch projects on the front. On the east gable there is a small C18 bellcote and below, in the gable, a large clock face with the figures originally made of blackened bones, but now largely replaced by wood. Roof tiled, with two small gabled dormers and a large central three-light gabled dormer, half hipped. At the west end there is an external chimney stack rebuilt at the top, with diagonal shafts.

The interior has fine C16-C17 and C18 features including C16-C17 panelling, doors and richly carved fireplaces.

There is the remains of a moat.
