The farmhouse dates from the late 18th century and features an early 19th-century wing at the rear, forming an L-shape. The cottage wing, which is also early 19th century, consists of two builds to the right. There are 19th and 20th-century extensions on the left side that incorporate part of a small 18th-century structure.

The house is constructed of red and buff brick and has a Swithland slate roof with stone gable copings and flanking brick chimneys. It is a double pile building with a single span roof, featuring a chamfered plinth and moulded brick eaves. The structure has three storeys and a cellar, with three bays. The upper storeys contain 3-pane sash windows with gauged brick heads, while the second-floor windows are square. The ground floor of the left bay features a mid-19th-century bow window with a 4-pane sash flanked by single sashes, wooden pilasters, and a moulded wooden entablature. There is a cellar opening below this window. To the right, there is an early 20th-century canted bay window with a flat roof and leaded top lights. The central entrance has a flush-panelled door with a radiating semicircular wooden fanlight and flush-panelled arched reveals. The doorcase is finely detailed with reeded pilasters and an open pediment on reeded brackets with guttae, accessed by four spreading stone steps. The right end of the house has a small single-storey 20th-century extension with leaded glazing, which is attached to the cottage wing.

The rear of the house features the early 19th-century wing with a slate roof and dentil eaves, along with 3-light wooden casements and horizontal sashes.
