It has slightly projecting wings at each end with hipped gable, the centre front of three bays forward under pediment (which has a blocked oval light), wood modillioned eaves cornice carried round the pediment, 2:1:3:1:2 window range of double hung sashes with glazing bars, plain band, central brick entrance porch with modillioned cornice and broken pediment head. Two storey and attics, the-east and west wings have three hipped dormers. Three important chimney stacks, one of the north side with two octagonal shafts, one from the 'former hall' with two shafts of carved brickwork in the form of 'garland' and 'fish scale pattern', both chimneys date from C17. The south wing stack has four grouped octagonal shafts. C17 interior panelling and fireplaces, one in the hall of C16 constructed of stone. Other fireplaces and panelling were brought from 'Beeches' earlier this century. Fine brickwork boundary wall and entrance piers. Wall reduced in height along part of south-western boundary.
