peg tile roof with a gable end stack at the west end and single storey, hipped
roofed blocks at each end. The first floor has 3 square double hung sashes
with small panes and moulded surrounds over 2 similar windows and an early C19

window and one formerly existed in the west block. The west gable is part tile

shafts and stepped 'fins' on outer edge. To the rear a further 2 storey, gabled
peg tile roofed block, linked by a later infill to the front block, with an

space of link block is a mid C17 window, now enveloped in later building but
with all original fittings and diamond leaded lights. Some fragments of old
pargetting on exterior and remains of figure of eight moat.
