The house is two storeys high, with a further storey and attics. A gabled cross wing, originally jettied, projects to the left. The front has a one- and two-window range of 19th-century and modern casement windows. A modern gabled porch has been added. A red brick chimney stack and staircase tower, dating from the 16th century, are located at the rear.
