The house is built of coursed limestone with pantiled and double Roman tiled roofs. This is a complex house, whose architectural history is complicated by the fact that it is a remnant of a much larger house called the Great House or Great Hall. At some unknown date a large part of the house was destroyed, possibly by fire. The hall and parlour block is the oldest portion, with enormously thick stone walls on three sides, and dates to the 14th century. In the late 16th century the medieval house was greatly enlarged and modified, the new work included the addition of a service wing, separated from the parlour block by a passage containing the staircase. In the late 17th-early 18th century the dairy and buttery chambers were modernised. Further alterations were carried out in the 18th century, this work included the parlour attic being reroofed, and at some date the roof behind the central gable was removed. The house was restored in the 1990s. Other buildings that are included in the farm complex are the late 16th-early 17th century stable, and the 17th century laundry house, cowshed and cartshed.
