In about the late C18 an outshut containing a staircase was built at the rear [W]; in about the early C19 a large L-shaped plan service range was built on the left [S] end and a 1-room plan extension was added to the north [right] end, which was extended at the back [W] later in the C19 to provide a new entrance. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4:6 window east front. Main 6-window range set back on right with 4- 12- and 16-pane sashes, casement with margin panes and Victorian canted bay on ground floor to right; doorway on left with flush-panel and glazed door and gabled open porch with lattice sides. Projecting on left 2-storey service wing with small 2-light C19 casements. Rear [W], the original range at centre is roughcast with slate roof, projecting lateral stack with weathered set-offs partly enclosed within later gabled bay with C20 stone window frame and with late C18 or early C19 3-light stair window to left with iron casements; early C19 stone range set back on right [S] and later C19 twin-gabled extension on left [N]. INTERIOR: C18 and C19 joinery including panelled doors, cupboards and chimneypieces with iron grates and circa late C18 staircase with stick balusters, moulded handrail and tall Tuscan column newel-post.
