Covered passage (right) links house to farm buildings. Later conservatory, left, in keeping. Interior: 6-panel doors; closed string staircase. Farmbuildings: 2 and 1 storey with steep roofs, picturesquely grouped round a 3 sided court. 2 drifthouses (at entrance and back of yard) under oak-framed gables carried on brackets from stone corbels.
