A modern brick extension has been added to the north-west corner of the building with a catslide roof. Tiled roof. Flint rubble walls and brick east gable end. Bath stone elements. Each side wall originally with two windows; on north side each with two cinque-foiled, four-centred lights with spandrels under a square head with label (the north-west window converted for use as doorway in 1947); south-west window of two plain, four-centred lights in a square head (the south-east window replaced by a modern arched doorway with a hood mould). East window with six arched lights of 1825. Modern doorway from house.
