The round-headed door opening on the south-facing entrance front is the kind of architectural detail associated with Georgian and early Victorian ambition, a deliberate gesture of respectability in dressed stone. Five bays wide across that southern front, with a broader window opening centred at first-floor level, the composition has a symmetry that would have read clearly to any visitor approaching from the front.

The house is bound into a small complex of structures rather than standing in isolation. A curtain wall, the kind of low enclosing wall used to define the limits of a domestic yard or demesne boundary, runs from each gable end to connect the house on one side to a farm building to the west and on the other to a gate pier to the east. The farm building itself extends further back into a farmyard to the rear, and the house has a two-storey gable-ended projection on its back elevation to match. The arrangement is compact and purposeful, suggesting a working estate rather than a purely ornamental residence, the domestic and agricultural functions folded together within a single walled enclosure.
