Rectangular plan with projecting stair-turret at south-east corner and projecting tower (dust flue?) near west end. Six storeys and 7 windows, with tower between 2nd and 3rd; round-headed doorway in re-entrant wall of stair-turret, otherwise most ground-floor openings altered; segmental-headed windows with raised sills; narrow rectangular full-height tower between 2nd and 3rd windows, with diamond-pattern breathers (as found in agricultural buildings) on 4 levels.
