Square-headed door openings with moulded sandstone surrounds and flanked by moulded curved sandstone corbels. Forms south range of rectangular-plan farmyard. East range formed by seven-bay two-storey building. Coursed rubble limestone walls with some remaining render, some cement block walling added. Segmental-headed window openings with red brick voussoirs. Lunette window openings with red brick voussoirs. Segmental-headed door openings with red brick voussoirs, some with timber battened doors. Segmental-headed carriage door opening with red brick voussoirs. West and southern ranges remaining as external boundary walls. Coursed rubble limestone walls. Pointed arch door opening with red brick lintel and cast-iron gate. Rectangular-profile piers to traffic gate opening to north-east corner of yard.

This late eighteenth-century ruin retains a strong sense of its original architectural character. The regular fenestration of the classically proportioned façade compliments the ordered nature of the farmyard to the rear. The house retains some interesting sandstone detailing, while the lunette and segmental arches of the eastern range of farm buildings add a sense of order and grandeur evocative of the classical style.
