Axial stack in main range, gable-end stacks to rear of the outer wings. Main range has entrance to right, with 2x12-pane sash windows to its left. Gabled dormer with similar sash window to centre, and 4-pane sash to its right. Outer gabled wings each have 16-pane sash to ground floor, and 12-pane sash above. Return elevation of left hand wing has 2 dormer windows with 12-pane sashes and a 16-pane sash to ground floor. Similar detail to right hand return (with single dormer only). Wings have rear outshuts, and a further outshut from the main range encloses the space between them, forming a strikingly symmetrical composition, even of the service area of the house.
Interior

Reason for designation
Listed as an exceptionally good example of the domestic gothic style - the precursor of the arts and crafts movement - characterised by expressive planning and simple detail.
