The inner room appears to have been in use as a kitchen at one time, the lower end is heated. The rear of the through passage leads into a rear right wing which is probably an C18 addition. A single- storey lean-to in the angle between the wing and the main range is probably a late C19 or C20 addition. 2 storeys. Long asymmetrical 5-window front with the through passage doorway to the right and an open porch with a slate roof supported on granite monoliths. C20 French windows on front at left. 1 small 12-pane C19 casement to the left of the front door with stanchions intact, elsewhere the fenestration is regular C20 3-light casements.

The through passage is slated. C20 roof trusses. The plan, with the hall stack against the inner wall is unusual in the region, and in Devon generally.
