The five-bay eastern elevation comprising a central projection with a segmental bowed front, a recessed bay either side of this, and semi-octagonal projections at the corners. All the windows are tall, elegant sashes. The western front has a central porch with four Tuscan columns, with flanking bays projecting slightly, and two further projecting bays at the ends. There is a balustraded parapet in the central sections of the eastern and western elevations, and also below some of the first floor windows. The interior of the house is ruinous. Some details of the plaster ceilings and cornices survive. The house was severly damaged and left ruinous after a fire during WWII.
