The main west-facing facade has three bays, with sash windows containing some 4x4 pane glazing bars, and a central doorway with a portico featuring Tuscan columns. The south-facing facade, of four bays, has similar fenestration and black glazed pantiles. Pantiles cover the rear roof. The house is the sole surviving building in the former parish of Markshall.
