Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1760, with screen walls to either side (north and south) hiding lean-to single-storey wings to rear (east), having cut limestone coping over and cut limestone ball finials to ends. Three-storey elevation to rear (east) with two two-bay two-storey returns. Possibly incorporating earlier fabric. Re-roofed and altered following damage during the 'Night of the Big Wind' in 1839. Now in use as a private house. Pitched natural slate roof with overhanging bracketed eaves and rendered chimneystacks to either end having clay chimney pots. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Lime rendered walls with evidence of rubble stone walling exposed to rear. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows retaining early, possibly crown glass, c.1838. Central round-headed doorcase with limestone block-and-start surround having glazed timber door with radial fanlight over. Interesting interior with shouldered doorcases and a mid-eighteenth century ramped staircase. House set back from road in extensive grounds with complex of rubble limestone outbuildings to rear (east). Main gates to west.
