H-plan facing east, with entrance in north side, plus L-plan rear wing. Classical
style. Two storeys and 1:3:1 bays; plinth, 1st floor band, cornice and blocking

corner pilasters, a moulded cornice and blocking course, and wide round-headed
arches in all sides, with imposts, moulded heads and keystones, a pyramidal

sashed windows; and at the end of this, a 3-storey elemment of killas rubble and
ashlar which has a one-bay south front which has tripartite sashed windows with
keystones. Interior: the ground floor of the 3-bay centre is a very large hall
with imperial staircase; the former kitchen in the rear wing has a very large
fireplace.
