Ashlar stone with partly cement- washed slate roof with brick gable end stacks, right-hand projecting and axial stack heating higher end of hall to right of centre. Plan altered and original arrangement uncertain. Comprises 2-room plan on left and remains of 1-room plan to right with rear wing behind.

The entrance to the left- hand range leads directly into the hall and there is no sign of an original cross passage. The rear wing on the right has been partly demolished. It was heated by side lateral stack which backs onto the stair projection and it is possible that this wing predated the 1720s range. 2 storeys regular 4-window front with dressed stone arches to ground floor openings.
