There is a 2-storey outshut behind the rear left hand room and a service wing to the rear right both of which are circa early C19 additions, and a 3-storey tower on the right hand side added in 1840. The original late C18 house probably had a central front entrance and the existing arrangement is the result of an early C19 remodelling. In the C20 the partitions between the 2 front rooms and between the axial passage and the rear left hand room have been removed. Exterior: 2 storeys.
