A castellated curtain wall, complete with the crenellated parapet more commonly associated with medieval fortifications or Gothic Revival follies, links the southern end of the house to the eastern range of the adjacent farm buildings. Its apparent purpose is entirely practical and slightly theatrical at once: it rises just high enough to conceal the gable end of the farm range from the entrance front, keeping the agricultural reality out of sight from the formal approach.

The house itself dates to 1790, as recorded on a date stone formerly set into the back wall. A second plaque, not directly inspected, is reported by the owner to bear the name John Horgan Esq, suggesting he was either the builder or an early occupant. The building follows a restrained late 18th-century formula: two storeys, three bays on the southern entrance front, a central door, and Wyatt windows in the flanking bays. Wyatt windows, named after the English architect James Wyatt, are a distinctive type in which a larger central sash is flanked by two narrower ones within a single frame, giving a sense of width without abandoning Georgian symmetry. The roof is half-hipped, meaning the gable ends are partially clipped back rather than running to a full point, and two chimneys sit off-centre. The side elevation is just one bay deep, with attic windows tucked in above. Behind the house, the enclosed farmyard is formed by ranges of two-storey farm buildings, and the eastern range carries a detail easily missed from a distance: pigeon niches set under the eaves. These small recessed openings were a standard feature of working farmyards, providing nesting space for pigeons kept as a source of both food and fertiliser.
