Ground floor set back, forming covered yard, upper storey supported on 4 brick piers and 4 cast iron reeded columns. 4 tripartite sashes of 2-6-2 lights and 4 paired sashes of 4 lights; 3 plain stable doors with small lights. First floor, 2:3:2 range of sashes of 6 lights. All windows, here and elsewhere, have flat arches of gauged brick, stone sills, and much crown glass. 4 plain pilasters (continuing piers). Long overhanging eaves on consoles, shallow hipped roof. 4 axial stacks, symmetrically arranged.

The apsidal ends each have 3 windows of 6-6-6 lights. From the E wing a wall extends southwards to connect with the service range of Stisted Hall, with one small gateway. From the W wing a similar wall extends S and E to enclose the stable yard, with vehicle gateways to W and S, and 6 brick piers. Stone copings on walls, stone caps on piers. The tithe map of 1839 shows an open passage between the two apsidal ends, with a stable range to the N of it, and the present coach-house wings to the S (Essex Record Office, D/CT 335).
