Original part at centre is a four-window range with large rendered chimney stack on front wall with glazed door to right. Mostly C18 three-light casements with glazing bars. Wing to north-east, at right angles, with stack at gable end. Wing to south-west has large external stone rubble stack at gable end and a C20 extension to west, also with thatched roof. Interior: two chamfered ceiling beams in centre range and half-newel stairs at rear.
