To the left of the front, there is a later lean-to, and at the rear, a semi-circular staircase projection features a chamfered single light window and a three-light chamfered mullion window on the side.
Inside, the farmhouse has jointed cruck trusses and a cross passage with a plank and muntin screen. There are open fireplaces with chamfered bressummers and jambs, as well as stopped chamfer ceiling beams. The stair tower on the rear wall contains newel stairs.
