The property is a large house, dating to the early 18th century, with substantial alterations and extensions occurring in two phases, first in 1825 and then in 1888 by Robert Burra Random. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with freestone dressings and has green slate roofs. The building has a complicated and irregular plan arranged on an east-west axis, facing south. It incorporates a hall range with a projecting porch, a recessed wing to the left coupled with another at the rear, a prominent gabled wing to the right (likely containing the earliest surviving fabric), and an eastward extension with a matching gabled wing to the right. The architectural style is predominantly Gothick.

The exterior is two storeys throughout. The hall range features a gabled porch (probably dating to 1888) with diagonal buttresses, a Tudor-arched doorway with a large carved plaque above it, a small round-headed window at first floor, and elaborately traceried bargeboards. Early 19th-century windows, mostly two-light sashes with Gothick glazing bars and hoodmoulds, are also present on both floors. The gable to the left has a large, added polygonal bay window at ground floor with geometric leaded glazing. The re-entrant side of the wing to the right has a pair of original small two-light windows with chamfered mullions at ground floor, beneath a continuous hoodmould. The gables of this and the east wing feature battered canted bays with mullion-and-transom windows. A garage is located at ground floor on one range, topped by a two-light sash. Various square chimneys have cylindrical shafts. A flight of steps leads to a balustraded terrace attached to the south-east corner. The west side of the recessed west wing has a large rectangular window with mullions and transoms and an arched central light; gabled half-dormers with Gothick sashes, similar to those at the front, are also present. The rear elevation has mostly unhorned sashes with glazing bars.

The interior includes a neo-Gothick hall and staircase, a panelled dining room, a first-floor drawing room and landing with early Gothick panelling, and a Renaissance-style fireplace.

The property forms a group with the nearby sundial in the forecourt and the gateway to the south-east corner of the garden.
