It is comprised of three bays facing NE with central stack, forming a lobby-entrance, and rear wing, forming an irregular T-plan. There is a 19th century two-storey lean-to extension in a right rear angle. A stair tower is to the rear of the left end, and a 20th century two-storey extension is beyond. A small 20th century flat-roofed single-storey extension is between the rear wings. It is two storeys and attics.
