Off-centre entrance hall with stairs to rear. 2 storeys. Exterior Front: 4 window range, symmetrical except for doorway. First floor windows all 12 pane sashes, mostly horned, lintels at eaves level. Ground floor: doorway set right of centre with double chamfered stone depressed 2-centred arch, the panelled and half-glazed door deeply recessed. 2 windows to the left, one to the right, all 12-pane horned sashes under depressed moulded stone window arches.

It is a functional mid C19 farmhouse, still in a traditional Georgian style but its interior plan is not designed around a symmetrical doorway and there are gothic influences.
