The brick, block-shaped main building from 1655 is built in sober Dutch-classical style to the design of architect Philip Vingboons; before 1832 the house was extended at the rear with a dome-shaped annex (staircase and a dome room); in the second half of the 19th century the semicircular pavilion-shaped extension was built against the side facade. The building, constructed on a T-shaped ground plan, consists of two storeys under a high hipped roof covered with Old Dutch tiles with brick chimneys on the roof ridge ends. The facades are articulated by 19th-century Empire windows, except for the tall window in the left side facade and a single sash window with glazing bars. The symmetrical front facade, five bays wide, has centrally a projecting, framed entrance section in front of which is a small stoop. The entrance section consists of a door with fanlight, a six-paned floor window and a four-paned roof dormer under a triangular pediment. The southern side facade has in the middle a window series of two six-paned windows and a framed roof dormer with triangular pediment and a hoist beam (an identical roof dormer in the north facade). To the right of this a 19th-century semicircular extension on a natural stone foundation consisting of four sandstone columns crowned by a frieze of metopes and triglyphs on which a wooden balustrade.
