Country house. C17 with C18 and late C19 alterations and additions. Coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, slate roof having stone coped gables with pyramidal finials and 2 stone ridge stacks on main north front. L-plan. 2 storey 5 bay front with garrets; advanced central gabled entry bay of 3 storeys with finial. Recessed panelled door in moulded surround with semicircular head having an emphasised keystone; above is a moulded cornice. On the upper floors are single 2 light casement windows with cornices. To the left of the entry bay is a 6 light mullioned window, the central pair of lights being united under a semicircular head to form wider casements. Beyond is a 3 light mullioned window. To the right is a further 6 light mullioned window with paired central lights with beyond again, a 4 light mullioned window On the first floor are three 4-light mullioned windows with, to the left, a single 3 light similar window. Most of these windows are late C19, but their style and positions probably reflect the C17 arrangement. The outer wall of the left hand range has an external stack which is probably early C17, and at the rear at the main range is a central doorway, the left hand jamb of which is moulded, C17, and in situ. Inside, there is a C17 staircase with spiral balusters and newel knobs as well as a stone fireplace with a moulded 4 centred arch.
