L-shaped form, with a main range and cross-wing; a C19 gabled addition on the north infills part of the angle between the 2 ranges, and a C17 extension on the south contains a stair. A single-storey lean-to along the east side. A large internal chimney-stack within the wing, with a plain red brick shaft; the end stack on the west has 2 square shafts with attached corbelled head.
