Description

The house is now planned as 2 parallel ranges extending east/west, with 2 short south wings; it is of 2 storeys, rendered, with hipped slate roofs and painted in an off-white tint with white features. Four chimney stacks: 3 rendered, one of axe-dressed limestone.

The principal elevations are now to east and north. The east elevation is the main front, of 3 bays with a gabled advancing centre bay and a 4-column Tuscan porch. Twelve-pane central window with hornless sashes; tripartite flanking windows with similar main sashes. Stone window sills, Tudor-style label moulds. The main door is panelled and semi-glazed. The north elevation is of 4 bays, with false windows in the right bay. Above are 2 tripartite windows flanked by 2 plain windows, below are 4 tripartite windows, all similar to those of the front elevation. The ground storey room at left has been brought forward under a flat roof but its tripartite window retained.

The south and west elevations are less regularly fenestrated, with to the south 4 windows with triple arch-headed lights above; one sash window, other modern multiple pane doors and windows below; to the west a single storey lean to, one sash window above and a rear door. The larger south and west windows and those on the returns of the south wing have sills and Tudor style label moulds similar to those of the main elevation.

The interior planning of the house is based on a corridor on the axis of the present main entrance, probably derived from a rear passage in the earlier layout; there is an upstairs corridor to one side of this. Main reception rooms to the north; Regency plasterwork and other decoration. Boxed shutters throughout. Staircase to the far end of the main corridor with splat balusters.
