Entrance front shows three sections: In centre a mid-late C18 three-storey, three-window facade of pinkish brick with stone modillioned eaves cornice and tall stone-coped parapet. Pantiled roof with tall end chimneys. Stuccoed lintels and stone cills to sash windows with glazing bars (some replaced). At left, a later C18 wing of more domestic character in similar materials having some fixed lights with small opening sections. At right an early-mid C19 wing of imposing proportions (same height but only two storeys). Larger pinkish brick, similar features and a prostyle Tuscan porch now glazed. Rear elevation of central part shows a Venetian staircase window at first floor and a tripartite window above. Entrance in projecting ground floor. Inside two handsome staircases each with two turned balusters to a tread, the later one consciously derived from the earlier but on a grander scale. Elaborate plaster cornices to rooms in both sections and an imported late C18 marble inlaid chimney piece in drawing room of later wing.
