Wealden plan of four framed bays in origin. Two storeys, basement and attic on plinth with underbuilt jetties to left and right end bays, with surviving jetty returned to right on dragon post. Half-hipped roof with 3 gabled dormers and stack to end right and large stack churner to centre left. Four light and 2 three light C20 casements on each floor and rib and stud doors to left, centre right and right. Basement opening in right return in high plinth. The right end bay is separately framed and possibly added when the hall was ceiled over, indicated by a panel of tension braced framing to upper left. the rest of the framing, now inappropriately exposed, is late in character and meant only as a ground to the destroyed rendered and sashed facade described in the old provisional list. The building was formerly used as the village workhouse.
