The first floor has five tripartite windows set in projecting stucco surrounds, which contain 20th-century mullioned and transomed leaded glazing. There is a semi-circular attic window at the centre. To the right, there are glazed doors behind a one-storey portico supported by four Doric columns. The left side has a three-bay extension with a gable front. A central bellcot is present, and there is a door to the left with rendered imposts in an arched surround. At the rear, there is a polygonal tower on the left with thermal windows at the top stage, and single-storey bow windows to the right. A 20th-century extension is located at the right end. The house was undergoing enlargement and complete renovation at the time of the last survey.
