Description

This is a late 18th-century house with an adjoining service wing and garden boundary walls. The main house is constructed of brick and coursed rubble, partly rendered, with ashlar dressings. It has plain tile, pantile, stone, and slate roofs. The detailing includes first and second-floor bands, moulded stone, dentillated brick eaves, a flat coped parapet, coped gables, and five gable and one ridge stack. The house is three storeys high, with a seven-bay central block flanked by two-storey parapeted wings. Most windows are glazing bar sashes, with keystoned and splayed lintels on the front. The south front features a central doorway with a keystone and fanlight, flanked by three sashes. Above are seven sashes, and above again, five smaller sashes. To the right, beyond a boundary wall with a doorway, is a two-storey service wing, partially roofless, with a door flanked by flush mullioned casements on the ground floor. Above these are two similar casements, and to the right a 19th-century sash window. A dressed stone coped boundary wall, 15 metres long, extends further to the right. To the left is a ramped coped brick boundary wall, 5 metres long.

The east end has a partly demolished gable to the left and a two-storey stable, three bays wide, with a doorway, stable door, and blocked casement. Above are two blocked casements. The west side has a doorway to the right and two casements above. The rear elevation includes a roofless, single-storey lean-to addition, a door with a segmental head, a two-storey lean-to addition with a casement, a three-storey gabled stair tower with a door, and sashes on each floor, all with segmental heads. A sloping dormer with a Yorkshire sash is situated above the stair tower. Further west is a single-storey, two-bay addition. To the east are two sashes, and to the north, two casements. The west gable has a sash window above.

Outside, an adjoining buttressed brick garden wall with flat slab coping forms a square plan, approximately 50 metres per side.
