Exterior
The exterior detailing of the house is mainly C19 in character, although the doorway to the storeyed porch, and several windows remain in the earlier parts of the house. The house is 2-storey, irregular in plan and faces SE. Rubble walls, roughcast, with boulder foundations to the late C16 storeyed porch, NE end and rear (NW). Modern slate roof with tiled ridge and coping. Four chimneys to main part, 3 in brick (at SW gable and along ridge, marking the extent of the original house). Ashlar stack with brick capping to NE gable.
The central part of the house forms the original dwelling, with a gabled storeyed porch added to the left (SW) side of the SE wall in the late C16. The porch has a wide central doorway with moulded jambs and a square head; triangular pediment with '1589 OW HW' in the tympanum (badly weathered). Now with a French window. Above the entrance is a 4-pane sash window, with a square recess in the gable apex. Wing to right (NW) separated by 1 window (4-pane sashes, one per floor). This wing is broader, with irregularly-spaced windows off-set to the left (SW); 6-pane sash to ground floor, 4-pane sash to 1st floor. To the right of the ground floor window, set at a higher level, is a small original square-headed window with quarter-moulded jambs, now blocked. Small 4-pane sash to ground floor of right hand return, with a similar, larger window to the end range to the right (NE). In the rear (NW) wall of the original house, between the porch and the rear dairy, is a blocked, square-headed window with quarter-round moulded jambs, half-concealed by the later building.
Abutting the NE gable end of the central part is a 1-window range, built as a drawing room in the 1830s, probably on the site of an earlier structure. Large 20-pane sash window to ground floor of NE end, with a 4-pane sash above. Rear (NW) elevation with two 4-pane sash windows to first floor. Abutting the SW gable of the central part is an early C19 service wing, with 3 windows to the ground floor and two to first floor. Door with shallow rectangular fanlight to NE end of rear (NW) elevation, with window to right (SW). Two 1st floor windows to rear. All windows to range are 4-pane sashes with segmental heads. To the rear (NW) of the central part is a late C19, single storey dairy wing, a 2-window range with central doorway in SW wall flanked by 4-pane sash windows. Brick chimney to NW gable end. Lean-to porch on rear (NW) wall of the central part, N of the dairy wing.
