Lobby-entry plan with stopped-chamfered hall ceiling beams; wide, gently-curved and stopped-chamfered fireplace bressummer. At the parlour (cross-wing) end is a timber-framed partition with a blocked primary Tudor-arched doorway; this with wattle and daub infill. Leading off from the hall to the rear is a 2-panel c1700 oak door with pegged, moulded doorcase. In the centre of the timber partition is a contemporary moulded doorcase leading to a small lobby with three repositioned 2-panel doors, also of c1700. One (L) leads to a C20 stair, whilst that to the R leads to a panelled late Stuart parlour. This has large-field oak panelling to 3 of the 4 walls, with associated moulded cornice; bolection-moulded architrave to door, original oak floor. The contemporary plastered ceiling has recently been removed (information from the owner) to reveal the primary late C16/early C17 stopped-chamfered ceiling beams. Relating to this is a wide fireplace with cambered and stopped-chamfered bressummer. To the rear of the parlour is a further chamber, accessed via the central lobby entrance. This has a plain joisted ceiling with wide, stopped-chamfered main beam. Relocated small-field early C17 panelling forms dado decoration to 2 walls, one section with arcading (part of a former frieze).

Two-storey former gentry house of U-plan. Timber-framed primary construction with some limestone rubble and brick infilling of c1700 and later; slate roof. The house has a central hall section recessed between two advanced, gabled wings. That to the R is primary and has modern replacement brick to its ground floor and decorative timber-framed upper section; deep verges and modern bargeboards. That to the L is a modern copy of the primary wing. The recessed central block has a mixture of early and modern brick and vertical timber studding visible to the upper floor. Central rendered stack with near-central entrance giving lobby-entry plan. C19 boarded door and architrave within large gabled modern porch; this is open to the front and has a pitched, slated roof with decorative bargeboards.

The primary cross-wing has a large lateral stone chimney with coped and kneelered gable; tall stack with brick capping in oversailing courses. Modern windows to rear and 2 modern slated stone lean-to additions.
