Two storeys to the wings and one storey and attics to the centre block. The south wing has a jettied upper storey on the east front. The windows are casements (many 20th century) and the centre block has an 18th century or early 19th century former shop bow window with glazing bars and a cornice. The roofs are tiled, with external stacks at the north and south ends and a 17th century internal central chimney stack in the hall block. The roof is said to contain part of the original structure.
