To the left the added hipped section has very narrow and tall lights at each level, and to the right is a wide addition with garage doors under an arch. The original gables are coped, with large rendered stacks. The S end has 2 large arched openings at first floor above a flat-roofed extension with arched lights, and the plain N end has a brick and slate outbuilding attached and set back, at an angle. The W front, away from the road, has a gabled range in 2 storeys, with steep roof, with 2 arched, wide-spaced 2-light casements and one small insertion, above a glazed conservatory, and 2 and 1-light casements; behind are 2 flat-roofed dormers in the rear slope of the front range. In the re-entrant angle between the ranges are 2 small sections, with a Diocletian lunette window above an arched sash. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: across the full width of the front is a coursed rubble boundary wall approx 1.6m high, raised in brickwork for approx 15m length at the S end, returned across the S boundary approx 6m.
