The buildings layout is asymmetric with a large crenellated tower to the rear and a gabled front facade. Inside the house is a staircase hall with a hammerbeam roof, and stained glass. Connected to the main house, there is a stable block that has its own crenellated tower, with the main section of the building constructed in Tudor revival style with wooden beams that span across the ceiling of the central section of the building. The main door remains in its original form, the walls of the grounds still also remain in their original forms.
