The window between this and the south-westernmost window bay is a window of 3 tiers of 5 lights with wooden millions and transoms. Small 2 storeyed gabled projection towards the north-east end, containing a porch on the ground floor with an archway having an obtusely-pointed head and carved spandrels, and the first floor oversailing above a cove and having a small oriel window with cover beneath it. Two windows of 5 lights between the porch and the chimney breast. Six casement windows, some of them with early C19 Gothic glazing. Two storeys and attics. One gabled dormer. The south-east, or garden front, is half H-shaped. The north-east arm of the half-H has the first floor of its south-west face oversailing but is faced with stone rubble, with a narrow tile-hung gable above and a pentice to the north-east. The south-west arm of the half-H is tile-hung with a hip over and was probably added. The house retains its moat complete. Interior has late C16 plaster ceiling.
