Curved walls extend from these wings to form the entrance to the courtyard. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has discontinuous string courses. The fenestration is regular, with projecting cills, and there are scrolled skewputts on the west block. Additionally, there is a vaulted basement.
