Essentially square on plan, but rendered more complex by projecting elements, and stable court to east. Austere Victorian gothic style.

3-light windows to right side. South elevation to garden of 3 bays with 3-light window to ground floor to left side and straight-sided 4-light bay to right. Two, 2-light windows above bay. North elevation of 3 parts. To the right, hipped gable to west front, to the left, lower 2 storeyed service wing with gable to east, and to the centre, 2 bays each with a 2-light ground floor window. To each side of these bays is a shallow single storey projecting service room. All windows formerly with undivided sash frames, some now with C20 casements. East elevation with service wing enclosing small yard, and further east, attached stable court now converted to form parish room and garages. Interior retains original plan and fittings including panelled doors, stick baluster stair, and 2 ground floor
