Plaintiled roofs with 20th century hipped plaintiled casement dormers. 3 axial 16th century or 17th century chimneys of red brick with square flues; moulded caps and bases, perhaps restored.

The north entrance front has 6 16th century limestone mullioned windows and central entrance doorway with square moulded head and label above; boarded and battened original oak door.
