It is an L-shaped building. The original portion is C16 and timber-framed but now
mostly tile-hung, though the timbering with red brick infilling is exposed in one
place. The south front of the south-east wing is faced with ashlar with long and
short quoins and a large brick chimney breast. The north-east wing has a projection
of 2 storeys with a gable on its east side which is the end of the Elizabethan part
of the house. Beyond this the wing was been extended to the east in the late C17

5 windows. Red brick and grey headers. Stone stringcourse above each floor. Brick
parapet. Casement windows with stone keystones and small square leaded panes. Door-

north gable end of this wing has moulded bargeboards and brackets with the date 1693
