Mid 19th century; additions and alterations circa 1900; with fine interior decorative scheme to parts circa 1928 by Robert Thompson of Yorkshire. Large 2-storey and attic, irregular-plan and multi-gabled small country house with substantial later additions (incorporating integral section known as Cranley Cottage), and later L-plan stable wing to W, all set within own parkland grounds. Harled with margined sandstone quoins and window surrounds with projecting cills. Gabled dormers and decorative bargeboards to main gables. Predominantly tripartite mullioned plate glass windows in timber sash and case and some canted bays to ground floor; single windows to rear and to later additions. Tripartite stone entrance porch with engaged pilasters to south. Grey slated roofs with corniced stacks, some with octagonal cans.

Interior was seen 2013. There is a good interior decorative scheme throughout with contemporary detailing to the mid-19th century part of house and circa 1900 extensions. Wide square open stair hall with decorative timber balustrade and decorative cornicing. There are various original fireplaces throughout including cast-iron and tiled inserts. Plain timber detailing to rear service quarters. In 1928, Yorkshire-based furniture maker, Robert Thompson, added a fine panelled dining room (used as a second dining room) and some other wood carved detailing to hall (formerly carved birds to newel posts, now removed). The 1928 dining room has characteristic adzed-carved (wide tooling marks) timber panelling, vertically framed oak panelling with inverted dentilled cornice, and integral mantelpiece with dated emblazoned decorative crest and fitted seat with curb extending around hearth. Carved inscription over door with decorative hinges to second dining room reads 'meat feeds, claith cleads, but manners mak the man' taken from Robert Burns. There is significant loss to interior fabric to the north-west section of the house (first floor removed) which has been closed off from main part of the house (and is known separately as Cranley Cottage).
