Casements, set in windows of various designs, including bows, semi-circular and Jacobean-dormered. 3 plain harled chimney stacks.

Inside, the main rooms / spaces are set towards the west; large hall, near full-depth, containing timbered main stair and opening in to conservatory; drawing room to its west (right hand side) is full-depth. Dining room adjoins hall on the left.
