The main house, built in 1797, has two red brick gable stacks and stands two and a half storeys tall with three bays. The central doorway has a panelled door and an overlight, with a hood supported by a single pair of brackets. On either side of the doorway are single glazing bar sashes. Above, there are three smaller sashes under segmental arches, and on the top floor, there are three small glazing bar sashes. The left gable is inscribed in blue brick with "1797."
To the left of the main house, set back, is a two-storey, single bay wing that has a single glazing bar sash under a segmental arch on each floor.
