There are single-storey lean-to extensions on the east and west sides, along with a gabled extension at the rear.

One fireplace features wrought iron cooking fittings, and a first-floor room at the west end has a plasterwork panel over the fireplace with a painted inscription that reads 'B September the -th 1679'.
