The south elevation has stone steps with a wrought-iron balustrade to the doorway at the principal floor, enlarged to tripartite with small-pane glazing to the lights and fanlight. The Inner door is half-border-glazed with a margined strip fanlight. Later bipartites flank, and there are three windows at the first floor. There is a bipartite to each floor of the later wing to the east. The west elevation has two doorways to the basement and a piended dormer to the attic. To the west there are three single-storey, gabled outbuildings forming a courtyard, with a piend-roofed store at the centre. A fourth building is shown on the 2nd edition OS map, which has since been removed. The garden is enclosed with ashlar-coped rubble walls.
