Large house, now divided. Largely C18 with C19 alterations, with C16 fragments at rear. Brick front with raised stone quoins, stone band stone gutter and chamfered stone plinth: Hipped stone slate roof with tall rendered ornamental stacks. Two storeys. 4-bay facade with sash windows with raised stone sills. C19 canted bay to left of doorway which has later pilastered doorcase. Above door is attached 3-panel tablet with a motif, and words, 'SAY GOD BE HE(RE)' and date 'IBM 1569'. Right side elevation partly of brick. One late C18 type 3-light window to 1st floor. The left elevation has a canted bay to right and a later lean-to extension above which is a 4-light double chamfered window, with early but re-leaded glass probably of early C18 date. At rear are various altered openings but to left, in outshut, is a part obscured window of round-arched lights with sunken spandrels, all blocked, and altered with later doorway. Above is an altered 5-light double chamfered window with early (restored) glazing.
The house was taken as Miss Wooler's school in 1837 when Charlotte Bronte was a teacher there and Anne Bronte a pupil. The earlier house was used as a meeting house by followers of George Fox in the late C17.
