Two storeys, the wing higher; plinth; south front has altered and irregularly disposed windows, three large ones in the main range and three smaller ones in the gable of the wing, one of which is the stairlight to a staircase in the re-entrant over which the roof of the wing carries down to the eaves level of the main range; no entrance on south side, but ridge chimney between the two bays of the main range suggests former baffle-entrance in line with it; wing has another ridge chimney.
