Exterior
Large storeyd country house of irregular L-plan. Of limestone rubble and ashlar construction with hipped slate roofs and plain corniced chimneys. Giant 2-storey, 3-bay Regency entrance front (S), with twin-columned sandstone portico to advanced, single-storey central entrance bay; baseless Tuscan with moulded cornice. Tripartite part-glazed inner screen with central double doors; acanthus frieze to ceiling. Wide tripartite windows with gently-cambered heads, those to the ground-floor with plain 1860s sashes, those to the first with original arrangement of 12-pane central sash and narrow 8-pane flanking sections. 8-pane French doors to first-floor centre, opening onto balcony above portico; decorative Regency ironwork balustrade to flat lead roof. Sandstone parapet with raised and balustraded central section and moulded cornice band below. The entrance front's L (W) return faces the lawned garden and has a wide 2-storey canted bay with plain and small-pane sashes to ground and first-floors respectively, as before. The bay itself is of limestone ashlar, whilst the walls are of rubble. Recessed slightly to the L is the three-storey earlier main section. This has an arched C20 entrance of fine limestone with inner arch and moulded jambs; part-glazed door with segmental fan. Twelve-pane sashes to ground and first floors and 9-pane sashes with segmental heads to second floor; 16-pane casement to far R. Adjoining the garden side to the L and advanced in front of it, is an L-shaped single-storey addition (of the 1860s) with limestone balustrade to a flat, lead-roofed main section and a hipped slate roof to an extension to the N; 16-pane windows with cambered heads to a canted bay window. Adjoining this to the L (N) is a large segmental limestone arch giving access to the rear service court. The arch is of two periods, its square supporting piers and lower wall sections belonging to the C19 and the arch proper, together with the upper wall sections, being C20 work.
The right-hand (E) return of the entrance block has a square storeyed stair projection with balustraded flat roof. The eastern face of the main range has C19 cambered openings with plain sashes, full-length to ground-floor R (relating to dining room); modern fire escape to L. Three-storey rear, raised over basement and advanced in three sections from R to L; irregular window arrangement, mostly 8-, 9- and 12-pane sashes with cambered heads. The raised ground floor is accessed via three flights of parapetted steps leading to service entrances, one with arched head. Multi-pane 3-window group to kitchen projection at centre. To the R is a lead-roofed rectangular oriel window to the ground floor, with three 12-pane sashes; supported on piers with shaped stone corbels. Beneath this is a cellar entrance reusing a C17 pegged oak, ovolo-moulded doorcase, with boarded and studded oak door and iron strap-hinges; iron grille to centre and dentilated treatment to surround.
Adjoining the main block to the E and set back from the plane of the entrance range is the 1920s wing. This is of 7 bays, storeyed and of dressed, uncoursed limestone construction with ashlar dressings. The bays have segmentally-arched sash windows with plain projecting architraves and a sill-course to the first floor; plain Giant Order pilasters divide paired bays. Bay 3 is now a modern entrance with glazed door; bay 7 is advanced and has a flat, balustraded roof. A contemporary flagged terrace with raised swimming pool lies in front.
