A single-storey plastered extension from the 18th or 19th century is attached to the front left. The gable ends have attics. On the rear left is an early 18th-century barn addition. The upper floor of the main house has exposed timber framing and painted brick infill. A late 17th-century chimney stack is located on the rear right.
