Two low storeys, 2:1 windows. The main range has a gabled porch at the junction of the bays, with a doorway in its left side and a one-light window in the front; two 3-light casement windows on each floor, that to the left at ground floor with a chamfered stone surround, and a small datestone inscribed: R/1667/H. The gable of the wing has one window on each floor, both like those of the main range and offset to the left. Ridge chimney in line with porch and gable chimney to the left. The right-hand return of the wing, which has quoins at 1st floor level only, has one similar window on each floor of the left bay and a stairwindow to the right.
