Long gable-ended building facing south, apparently with 3-room-and-through-passage plan with inner room at west (left) end and granary/stores added to service room. End stacks to service and inner rooms and axial hall stack backing onto putative passage. 4-window front to house, all C20 PVC casements including 2-bay windows at left end. Roughly central front door with late C19 glass-sided porch with glazing bars. Secondary door to right to presumed service room has C20 glass-sided porch. At right end flight of granite steps to granary door and a door at foot of stairs into ground floor store. Only roof at left end, over putative hall and inner room, has high pitch. Interior not inspected but oak ceiling beams, blocked fireplaces and oak roof trusses are said to survive. Site of Domesday Manor of Hitenesleia.
