Mansarded slate roof. Brown brick parapet and stone coping. Seven windows and 3 dormers. The end window bays project. Glazing bars. All windows have segmental heads except for the central first floor window, which is flanked by rusticated red pilasters with a red brick pulvinated frieze over it. Central wooden porch flanked by coupled pilasters with pediment over. The modern additions in yellow brick are not of special architectural interest. The interior of the C18 part has a mid C18 staircase with 2 turned blusters to each tread and scrolled tread ends and an Adamesque oval panel in the hall of a reclining lady in antique dress with scrolls and an owl, probably representing Minerva, flanked by swags. Also some contemporary panelling to the hall.
