Rear wing (part of No.30) with wide symmetrical elevation facing west down Bell Lane; semi-derelict. Two storeys and attic. On first floor, three windows. Against the lower part of the west elevation is a small two storey, two-bay stone building with slate gabled roof and overhanging eaves, probably of early to mid C19 date. Two windows on first floor. On ground floor, doorcase with pilasters, (lost) cornice and brackets.

Interior of No.30 almost derelict, but the C18 modillion cornice of the Grand Room remains visible from outside (dado said to remain), although partitions seem to have been removed. It is believed that a very fine late C17 wooden staircase with twisted balusters remains in rear part of the building.
