Timberframed building, front range rendered with slate roof with off central cemented chimneystack with three stacks set diagonally. Some timberframing visible to left side wall. Right side elevation tile-hung to first floor and rear elevation has some brickwork. Appears to be a lobby entrance plan with two wings, of which the right side one is the remaining crosswing of the earlier open hall house, so that the pre-C19 parts form a U-plan and the centre was filled in in the C19. Front elevation of two storeys:3 windows. Three two storey splayed bays with verticals only to upper floor and multipane windows to ground floor with panelled risers. Tall doorcase in front of chimneystack with pediment, plain pilasters and 8-pane fanlight. Right side elevation has stuccoed ground floor and C20 tilehanging above and C19 carved bargeboards.

Some mid C18 brickwork to rear of fine c1710 dogleg staircase with twisted balusters square newel posts and moulded handrails.

The main chimney has two square alcoves on the first floor facing south at right angles to the two early C18 fireplaces and were probably added at the same time.

On the first floor much of the frame was visible including a panel on the original rear wall with exposed wattle and daub. The rear left wing stack has a mid to late C18 or C19 angle set first floor fireplace heating the western chamber. The roof to the east rear wing has the original C15 roof with common rafters with collar beam in numerical order.
