House. Early C19 with older core. 2 storeys; irregular form. Main range in brick, with band, but rendered and colour-washed; C20 plaintiles. Front with 2 short projecting wings; mid C19 bargeboards with foliage designs in relief to the gable-ends. Small-paned sash windows in deep reveals; the right cross- wing has a long tripartite small-paned sash window with rounded head; a Romanesque slit-window in the apex of each gable. Entrance centrally placed between the 2 wings, beneath a high portico supported on paired Tuscan columns with enriched necking to the capitals; a half-glazed door in a moulded surround. To the right of the front, an added section, in matching style and materials, with a slightly lower roof-line. The south (garden) front has a projecting gable in the centre with a canted 2-storey bay having 3 windows to each storey; 6 other windows to each storey on this front, all small-paned sashes in deep reveals. The bargeboards to the gable-end match those on the front of the house. At the west end of the range, a much earlier building has been linked to the main house: 2 storeys, L-shaped form, with a main range and cross-wing. Timber-framed and rendered with plaintiled roofs. The cross-wing is jettied along the front and side, with a plain corner post. Early C19 bargeboards with traceried mouchettes and spike finial. An internal chimney- stack to the main range, with a rebuilt shaft set below the roof-ridge. Small-paned sash windows in flush frames. To the north of this older building, a C20 range of extensions and outbuildings, not included in the listing.
