To its east side were two large walled gardens, one with box hedges in the Elizabethan style, which was removed in 1975.
The house was Grade II* listed in 1952, but views differ on its merits: Historic England research records describe it as "of little architectural merit", but Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "fine C17 house".
[1][2][3] The house has a timber-framed core, and is in gritstone, with a moulded string course, and a stone slate roof with gable copings, and shaped kneelers.
The ground floor of the porch is open, with two Tuscan columns, and it contains chamfered mullioned windows.
Inside, the porch ceiling has a relief of a woman in 17th century clothing, while the house has original fireplaces, and much early plasterwork.
