This is a mid 16th-century house with alterations and extensions dating to the early to mid 17th century and the 19th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, with steeply pitched machine tiled and glazed pantiled roofs. The house is arranged in a “T” shape, with an early three-bay service cross wing to the left and a later two-cell lobby entry hall and parlour range to the right. The main range has two storeys and attics. On the ground floor of the later range is a plinth, and 8-light mullion and transom casements with octagonal leaded lights. A central entrance is within a closed gabled 19th-century porch, featuring a panelled door with a leaded fanlight and wavy bargeboards. The first floor features similar casements, with a small latticed 2-light casement above the porch, and pargetted panels depicting fleur-de-lys and a Lion and Unicorn. Boxed eaves are present along with a large axial stack incorporating a recessed panel in its base and a sawtooth shaft. The service wing projects forward and has a taller ridge. The ground floor features an 8-light casement, with flanking 20th-century glazing revealing original 4-light diamond mullioned openings. The first floor and attic have 2-light leaded casements, with a bargeboarded gable. An inner return first floor window is cavetto-mullioned. The left return of the cross wing displays scattered 20th-century casements, some of which expose early cavetto and ovolo mullions. The service wing was extended to the rear in the 17th century, incorporating a rear gable end internal stack with a sawtooth shaft. An outbuilding is attached to the rear. On the rear inner return of the cross wing are cavetto and ovolo mullioned windows. The rear of the main range features a central two-storey gabled stair wing with leaded casements, and flanking 20th-century lean-to additions. Internally, the hall and parlour range have three chamfered brick Tudor arched fireplaces, a timber bressumer to the hall fireplace, stop-chamfered axial binding beams, recently reused double hollow moulded joists, and an ovolo mullioned window in the stair wing. Straight tension braces are visible, along with a double butt purlin roof with cambered collars. The service wing has stop-chamfered axial and cross axial binding beams with run-out chamfered joists, close studding, tension braces, jowled posts, and a butt purlin roof with clasped purlins to the rear addition.
