A country house in a freely interpreted Jacobean style, of 2 storeys composed of 3 wings set around a courtyard in a U-shaped plan, with timber-framed walls and rendered panels, and tile roofs with tall brick stacks. The windows have wooden mullions and most incorporate small-pane metal-framed casements, and upper-storey windows are mostly carried above the eaves. The main elevations facing the courtyard have a dentilled brick string course between storeys. The 3-bay central entrance wing faces the courtyard and the approach driveway to the E. It has a central advanced gabled bay with 4-light oriel over the gabled porch offset to the L side, which has a segmental head and double ribbed doors leading to a panelled door inside. On the R side of the porch is a cross window. To the L of the central bay is a full-height 3-light bay window. On the R side is a cross window below an oriel set in the angle with the N wing. The angle has polygonal full-height bay window.

The S wing is of 5 bays. At the R end is a projecting gabled bay with 2-light windows in each storey. Further L are 6-light lower storey windows flanking a projecting central gabled bay with 6-light windows in both storeys. The L-hand bay is also a gabled projection, with a 2-light upper storey window, below which is a lately added porch with small flanking casements, and inside which is a ribbed door.

The N wing is the service end. Facing the courtyard it has a central projecting gabled bay with 6-light windows, L of which is a 2-light full-height bay window under gable, and to the R a 3-light window below an oriel and gable. Rear walls are of brick with tile-hangings to gables under moulded eaves boards.

The S wing gable end has a V-shaped first-floor oriel flanked by 2-light casements. The wing is built on steeply sloping ground and is carried on substantial timber posts of elm, creating a covered and cobbled but open basement. In the centre of the basement is a brick arch, which is carried up and is stepped to form an external stack. The S, or garden, front has a spectacular appearance set high above the garden. It is of 4 bays, of which the inner bays flanking the central external brick stack are wider and brought forward under hipped roofs. They have large panel glazing. The R outer bay has two small 2-light casements in the lower, while the L-hand bay has a cross window. Set back at the L end of the S wing is the S elevation of the central entrance wing, which overlooks a small terrace and is of 3 gabled bays. An out-of-character single-storey lean-to conservatory is added to the central and R-hand bays. To the L is a 5-light mullioned and transomed window in the lower storey, with similar 7-light window above, while the central bay has a 3-light mullioned and transomed window, the R-hand bay a 5-light oriel. The rear of the entrance wing has an integral veranda to the SW angle, then a full-height bay window of 5 lights in the lower storey and 7 lights above. Further L the dining room is set at a 45-degree angle, has a 6-light window facing the SW terrace, while the side wall has a full-height gabled bay window of 5 lights below 7. Further L are 2-light lower window and 5-light window above.
