The 3-bay section is the original house and this has a central entrance with flanking gabled bays. The entrance has a large Bath stone ashlar porch with steps leading to double doors, which have a keyed head, fanlight and Tuscan pilaster surround, corner pilasters support a cornice with balustraded parapet round a balcony, sidelights to the porch; above the porch is a French casement opening to the balcony.
