Large late Georgian country house of irregular plan, built around a service court open to the N. The house consists of a main 2-storey L-shaped range with an adjoining 3-storey block, also L-plan, and a series of chiefly single-storey extrusions and additions. Of local rubble with fine limestone ashlar to the main facades and dressings; shallow-pitched, hipped slate roofs with deep oversailing eaves to the main sections, plain chimneys with cornices. The main, L-shaped range consists of a 4-bay southern arm and a 5-bay eastern arm, with the present entrance occupying the first two bays of the latter. Here there is a Tuscan tetrastyle portico of sandstone with plain frieze and moulded cornice; tripartite balustrade above (most balusters and a section of the moulded rail are missing. Segmental barrel vaulted ceiling within; entrance with simply-moulded classical architrave with projecting keystone and panelled double doors. The ground floor windows to both arms are of large tripartite type with wooden transoms and small pane glazing; those to the southern side retain wooden blind boxes. The first floor windows are 16-pane unhorned sashes with continuous projecting sill-band. All the windows have projecting limestone architraves. Adjoining the southern arm at its W end is a single-storey rectangular addition with large square bay window to the S and a large bow window with conical roof to the W; both have full-height 12-pane sash windows, the bow with narrow 4-pane flanking lights. Extruded in the angle to the rear of the S and E ranges is the main staircase block surmounted by a large rotunda.

Adjoining to the NW is the L-shaped 3-storey range. This has finely-coursed and tooled limestone facings and has a 7-bay W facade with 3-bay and 2-bay sections respectively flanking an advanced central 2-bay part. All windows are the original unhorned sashes with projecting sills and dressed limestone quoins and voussoirs; 20-pane to the ground floor and 12-pane to the first and second floors, the latter square and squat with sandstone lintels. The inner, service court side of this has a 6-bay main section and a 3-bay return section; 16, 12 and 9-pane windows, as before, to ground, first and second floors, with, at the far L of the main part, an entrance with modern part-glazed door. Adjoining this range to the W is a low modern, flat-roofed extension which connects with a 3-bay C19 block at right-angles with it; this is a single-storey rubble domestic block with hipped slate roof, and has a modern 3-bay catslide verandah to the front (facing E). Central entrance with part-glazed door and flanking 2-light windows with plain glazing and pointed-arched wooden heads. The 5-bay rear of this block has a central entrance and 2 flanking windows to each side, as before; 4-bay modern verandah with plain wooden posts and balustrade. Adjoining this to the N, via a short stretch of rubble wall with modern garden gate, is a simple square rubble garden shed with pyramidal roof and 4-part C20 windows.

A low modern brick extension adjoins the rear of the 3-bay section, with a low, hipped-roofed pavilion block extruded in the angle behind the rotunda. This has an arched entrance stepped up to the L with a short flight of modern steps leading up to it; recessed 6-panel arched door. To the R of this is a large tripartite multi-pane sash window and above the entrance a flat-roofed dormer with 9-pane window. Adjoining the main (eastern) wing to the N, and completing the main house is a square single-storey block of snecked limestone with pyramidal roof and surmounting square, glazed lantern. Attached to this and continuing to the N is a low 3-bay lean-to woodshed with slated roof and brick piers. This is built against a 3m high rubble garden wall which returns to the W beyond the woodshed where there is a boarded garden entrance. The wall then continues northwards for some 20m parallel with a similar wall opposite (closing the coach and stable yard to the W) on either side of a metalled service approach. The wall terminates beyond a further cambered garden entrance in a square pier with simple coping.
