The circa C17 chamfered timber lintel over the blocked entrance leading from the kitchen wing into the C19 range together into the C17 ovolo-moulded timber lintel over the doorway leading from the C19 range through the lower gable end of the main range would appear to indicate that the C19 range replaces an earlier range. 2 storeys asymmetrical, overall 5-window front.

Above, 3 tall circa early C19 18-pane sashes without horns. Rear elevation; main range with C19 2-light casement on ground floor below slate dripmould. Circa C20 door to right, to rear of original through passage and slated hood in angle with rear lateral, probably hall stack to right. Stair window in early C19 range at angle formed by 2 C17 ranges.
