The entrance is set within a large but shallow projecting porch and consists of a panelled timber double door and rectangular fanlight, flanked by panelled pilasters with large window-sized sidelights. The windows themselves are largely flat headed and filled with one over one timber sash or replacement top-hung timber frames. The front windows to the uppermost floor of the main section of the house are partly set within curved gable half dormers which themselves are linked by a balustraded parapet. To the front of the two-storey south wing there is a full-height timber canted bay, whilst to the single-storey portion of the north wing there is a broader full-height canted bay. Mixture of cast-iron and replacement uPVC rainwater goods. The property is set within spacious grounds with extensive outbuildings to the south and east.
