The house is single-storey with attics, and has a two-window front elevation featuring 20th-century casement windows. Two catslide dormers have been added. A 20th-century porch and lean-to extension are also present. The timber frame is partly exposed inside, showing an inserted first floor within the original hall and a 16th-century arch-braced roof structure with side purlins.
