Slate roof, exposed eaves, central roughcast stack and 3 pitched roof dormers with plain bargeboards.

Roughcast stack to left. 1 storey and attic centre rear with modern dormers and later windows; brick walls on stone plinth, brick and roughcast stacks.  

Interior of main range retains 3 cruck couples of probably C15 date (all sawn off below 1st floor level); thick uncusped blades set well in from rear wall as a result of later alterations when roof was heightened and broadened. Probably once an open hall, floored in C17 with feather - stop chamfer beams to main rooms. Fireplace with large timber lintel. Some timber partition walls visible as is the timber frame of the cross range.
