2-window frontage with classical porch. Three-light casements
with stone chamfered mullions with flush surrounds; at ground

wing similar, on one floor only, with a 3-light casement
window as front. Stone stack with skirt and moulded capping,

Interior has small dressed stone fireplaces to each
ground-floor room, and a C19 tight winder stair in right room;
wing entered through opening with cambered head, and a similar
opening with hollow mould surround on north wall of wing,
formerly an external door. First-floor fireplace with moulded
jambs has, on lintol, 2 beehives and inscription: "1760:
