MAIN BUILDING. Rectangular country house, crowned by a pantile roof with four chimneys, originally dating from the eighteenth century. To the left and right of the entrance section are two six-paned sash windows; the five windows on the first floor are divided into four panes. This window arrangement dates from the first half of the nineteenth century. In that period the facade was also provided with render in the character of natural stone blocks. A hard stone staircase with a landing of sandstone slabs is situated before the house.

The south facade shows two building periods: beginning and end 18th century.

Two full-height windows each have eight panes. The glazed doors, windows and terrace date from the first half of the twentieth century (architect A.A. Kok).

The rear facade has a central projection with Empire window arrangement; the windows to the left and right of the central section date from the fourth quarter of the 20th century. The cupola room, built in pentagonal form, dates from the third quarter of the 18th century.

On the north side around 1908 a new entrance was built; steps and entrance section come from a house in Haarlem, 18th century (architect Wolbers). The vestibule and hall behind this entrance were altered into a kitchen (third quarter 20th century).
