Country house. Partially late C16, but mainly later C17. Coursed ironstone rubble with ashlar dressings and stone tiled roof. Entrance (north) front is --- 2 storeys with attics, symmetrically arranged with outer projecting coped gabled wings, which each contain a lofty 3-tiered mullioned and transomed window, and 3-light mullion to attic. Between them is a flat roofed porch with central pedimented false-gable, and 4-centred arched doorway beneath it flanked by pilasters, with outer mullioned and transomed windows. 3 2-light mullioned windows to 1st floor behind, and central attic gables with 2-light mullioned window. Another wing projects to left, and is probably of earlier date, late C16. 3 3-light mullioned and transomed windows to each floor in its east and west walls, one to each floor in the gable end.

South front is also late C17, 2 storeyed with hipped roof and attics, and 13 bays, 4-5-4. The central section is slightly higher with coved eaves cornice, and central pedimented doorway with round-arched niche above.

Interior is in very poor condition, but includes a number of fine stone fireplaces.
