Coursed stone, stone slate roof, stone end and ridge stacks, some of C20. Single long range with rear extensions and projecting gabled wing to right of centre, single storey and attic. Four unevenly sized gables, including projecting wing, with scattered single- or two-light stone mullions with leaded casements and square hoodmould.
