South front elevation: 4-light ground floor casement, one flat-roofed dormer and one raking-top half-dormer, both with 2-light casements; ledged and battened door to right of central and east end bay. Attic light in west gable end. Interior: framing appears mainly intact; large fireplace in west bay and part of winder staircase survives in central bay. A C19 single-bay two-storey addition adjoins the west chimney; ground and first floor 3-light casement in its south elevation; a lean-to lobby-entrance to the front of the main chimney links the original building with this addition. There is also another C19 addition adjoining the east end bay to the south; two-bay single- storey and attic; it has a 2-light casement and ledged and battened door in its west, side elevation, (both have cambered heads), and an attic light at its gable end. The house was being restored at time of survey (March 1985).
