Three stone gabled dormers, windows set across eaves (R window slightly deeper than others), horned sash glazing to L dormer, casement to others. Roughly central camber-headed entrance doorway with long stone voussoirs, window to L similar (casement glazing), window to R (once doorway) similar but less well built, horned sash glazing; between door and present windows, small squarish blocked windows. R gable has camber-headed window to first and second floor. Two stone built wings to rear; R (E) wing cartshed; L (W) wing kitchen.  

Entrance hall has stairs opposite door; large chimney to R, heating E room, which has beams set in walls and axial beams, suggesting this end has had floor inserted.
