The house is built from timber frame under pitched fish-scale and plain tiled roofs at the front and plain tile and slate roofs to the rear.

Internally there are some wonderful features including Inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers, feature mullion windows and attractive outlooks over the gardens. There are good ceiling heights throughout the house with vaulted ceilings in several of the bedrooms. The adjoining cart lodge forms part of the plans to create the guest accommodation. There is further planning permission for a detached triple garage with garden store to replace the existing. The mature gardens are well established with numerous trees, herbaceous borders and seating areas. To the far end of the garden is a pond, hard tennis court and footings for a summer house.

A path with retaining brick walls and box hedging lead through the attractive gardens. Wide lawns are edged with deep flower and shrub borders. There is a pond beyond the main lawned garden with a further path to the hard tennis court with a double yew hedge walk and a hard standing for a summer house.
