Exterior
Large house, symmetrically planned with central porch. Three storey, 3 gable, 5 window central range with 2 storey lean-to, single window wing each side. Walls to main house are of roughly coursed pink and grey gritstone rubble, moulded plinth, with a change in masonry to more squared blocks above the first floor windows, continuing to mid-way up the second storey windows, with the gables built of random rubble masonry, reflecting the successive phases of construction. The lintels to the ground floor are square-headed with keystones, the first and second storey windows have plain stone lintels, with slate hood moulds. Slated pitched roof with 3 gables to front with scroll-work decoration to bargeboards. Rectangular stacks to either gable end (raised in brick) and to end of addition to stair wing. Windows to main part are 12-pane sashes; to the left wing are 16-pane sashes, and to the right wing a 6-pane sash to the ground floor and a 16-pane sash to the first floor. The central porch contains a re-set and widened 4-centred doorway with moulded head and jambs, in a rectangular moulded architrave with decorative work to spandrels, flanked by red sandstone piers, each with 2 moulded recessed panels. Inserted in the wall above the piers are stones bearing initials: to the right "R B" for Rowland Bulkeley, and to the left "A C" for his wife Ales Conway. Above the door, enclosed by a rectangular moulded architrave, is a central stone with three elements; to the left a shield bearing a chevron between between 3 stag's heads, and to the right another shield bearing a chevron between 3 cornish choughs; set between are the initials "R B" over "E B" for Richard Bulkeley and wife Elizabeth. To the left and right are stones bearing "B" over "R M" over "1653" for Rowland Bulkeley, who married Mary Tudur. Side walls of sandstone ashlar with pointed arch windows with simple gothick style glazing bars either side, over which are initials "R M" over "1655".
The walls of the left lean-to wing are similar to the lower walls of the main house and the 16-pane windows have flat stone arch lintels; the walls of the wing to right are of a more reddish colour with square-headed stone lintels to the windows. Return elevation of left wing has small 2 storey projecting wing terminating in a full height canted bay facing E, now with French windows to ground floor and with 12-pane sash windows to first floor, with the central window jettied and supported on piers either side of the French windows. Central stair wing to rear of main block, extended in the mid C19, with rubble walls and pitched slate roof.
