The house is 2 and a half storeys tall and has two sets of 2 over 2 sash windows, which are topped with cambered lintels and painted keystones. A central first-floor window appears to have been blocked in the 19th century.

To the left, there is a two-storey extension that has nogged eaves and a centre-opening three-light casement window on both floors, along with a 20th-century one-light window in the gable of the main range above.
