According to Bence-Jones (1988, 267) the house is 'said to incorporate an earlier priest's house'. There is a smaller two-bay house with first-floor dormer windows, joined, at a slight recess, to E gable. It has low ceilings and wall T 0.6m. Added onto this in the 19th century is a projecting two-storey wing which contained a large drawing room and now partially incorporates the kitchen at ground-floor level.
