Magnesian limestone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof on 2 levels. L-shaped
plan: a 2-storey 3-bay range on east-west axis with a large 2 1/2-storey 2-bay
receding wing at the east end (probably the earlier building). South front
of main range (to garden) has a continuous dripcourse, altered openings at
ground floor, and recessed chamfered mullion windows at 1st floor under the

at ground floor, 3 lights at 1st floor, and 2 lights in the attic; chimneys
at both ends of main range, large lateral chimney on ridge of wing, another
in north-west angle. Right return wall has two 12-pane sashes at ground floor,
some patched masonry suggesting former openings (including remains of one mullioned
window), and two 3-light recessed mullion windows above. Rear gable of wing
has a 2-light mullioned cellar window, a similar window at 1st floor, and a
raised doorway and sashed window at ground floor. Rear of wing has a full-
height gabled stair turret, but otherwise the rear of both parts is altered
or covered by additions (including a lower gabled addition to the stairturret).
Interior: of wing has a full-height open-well staircase with moulded string,
square newels, turned balusters and moulded handrail ramped to the newels,
but with evidence of alteration for relocation; some large chamfered beams,
and timber framing in the rear wall (especially the stairturret) but concealed;
at 1st floor a Tudor-arched chamber fireplace; chimney stack c.2 metres deep.
