Hipped roof with rendered parapet wall to front (north), terracotta ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with elliptical-headed carriage arch having rendered impost course to front elevation. Circular opening to front elevation with timber window and render surround. Square-headed openings to rear with three-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Coursed rubble three-storey bell tower to south-east.

Additional three-bay single-storey building to east with pitched slate roof, rendered walls and square-headed openings having timber casement windows and timber battened door.
Appraisal
Outbuildings display high quality expected of demesne outbuildings, and form a notable group with the main house and entrance. The bell tower is a notable feature and would have played an important role governing life on estate.
