To right and left, tripartite large-paned sashes with narrow side lights. In the south-west angle a flat-roofed brick addition for an entrance porch with an Edwardian fully glazed conservatory beside it, extending along the whole front of the west wing. The north-south range was the original house, with a 3-cell internal chimney plan. To the south of the stack, a 2-bay room with boxed-in cross-beams and a timber fireplace lintel with double roll-moulding and tuck-pointed brickwork; to the north of the stack, 3 bays, with a former partition removed, a heavy main beam with 3" chamfer and small solid supporting braces. On the upper floor, main posts with long jowls, some good studding exposed, and one open truss with cambered tie-beam and remains of arched braces. Roof in 6 bays with one row of stepped butt purlins. The C17 addition to the east has a roof with cambered collars and clasped purlins. The long west wing is all mid- Victorian, with an earlier 1½-storey former dairy in the north-west angle.
