Central entrance, single depth plan, partly made double by outshuts, with a symmetrical front demonstrating a date very close to 1700. Two storeys and attic, three windows.

Steeply pitched roof with deep eaves, three gabled dormers with 3 + 3 pane casements, stack behind ridge to the left and external to the right gabled, this one has three off-sets, both have rebuilt red brick shafts. All the joinery details are Victorian. Right gable wall has a small 6 over 6 pane sash on either side of the stack on the ground floor, small casement to outshut on right. Left gable wall not seen. Rear elevation has a two storey outshut to left which is blind to the rear, single storey one to right with small window and another small window in main wall above.
