Original ridge stack of clunch rubble with local brick to upper courses. Single range plan of three bays including the narrower entry and chimney bay. Two storeys and attic. Three first floor modern wood casements and similar ground floor windows on either side of lobby entry doorway. In the rear wall at first floor an original three-light diamond mullion casement.

Interior: plan of two rooms on either side of the chimney bay. Back to back inglenook hearths. Substantial scantling to wall and ceiling frames. Stop chamfered main beams transversal to the range and carried on prick posts which are continuous from sole plate to wall plate and form an intermediate truss without tiebeams. The prick posts in the room at the south end, possibly originally a parlour, have more elaborate moulding. Flight of brick steps to first floor on north side of stack. Arch braced tiebeams, and main posts with long jowled heads. Clasped side purlin roof with paired wind bracing. The ceiling frame with its transversal main beams carried on moulded brick posts, arch braced tiebeams and long jowled post heads are similar to those of the Mansion House, Covenay (q.v.).
