A prominent feature is the projecting gabled wing off-centre to the left, which has mullioned and transomed windows on both floors.
The central entrance is a timber porch with French casements behind and a balcony above. To the right, there is a projecting gabled porch that includes a 4-light window on the first floor, with an arch over the centre two lights, and a door with a circular glazed panel set back beneath it. An octagonal corner turret to the right has mullioned and transomed windows on each floor and a separate pyramidal roof with a finial.
