Plain tile roofs. U- plan. 2 storeys and attic. Chamfered stone plinth and parapeted gables with stone kneelers and copings. Pair of large external dressed stone and brick lateral stacks with chamfered offsets. North-east (entrance) front: 3 gables. 1-:1-:1- bays with recessed centre. C20 four-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows.Central first-floor 5-light window and 2-light attic casements. Central C20 flat-roofed porch with dentil brick cornice and parapet with reused moulded stone coping. 1:2:1 glazed C20 doors. Small ground-floor windows flanking porch. Rear: parapeted gable only to central projecting bay. Ground-floor C20 wooden cross window to right with C17 chamfered sandstone reveals and evidence of former stone mullion. Interior: entrance hall with chamfered ceiling beams and moulded beam with broach stops. Neo-Jacobean staircase, introduced in the late C20. Right-hand ground-floor room with moulded and chamfered cross-beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with moulded Tudor arch. Remains of former timber framing in left-hand ground-floor room with evidence of former jetty to front including a chamfered jowl post with chamfered bracket and first-floor wall plate. Roof not inspected. The left-hand wing was probably formerly timber framed and jettied to the front. It was probably rebuilt in brick after the house was extended to the north-west as there are some detail differences (no plinth or quoins to front etc.). The brick is only a racing onto rubblestone. The house formerly had a C17 nine-light double-chamfered wooden mullioned and transomed window, removed in the late C20. Shropshire County S.M.R., No. 12540; N.M.R.
