The main block is three stories high and features five windows, constructed of brown brick with red dressings. To the left, there are later 18th-century wings that are three stories tall, while to the right is an early 19th-century wing that is two stories high. Adjacent to this is a large 20th-century wing, which is not of architectural interest.
