Lakeland slate roof, except for Welsh slates on rear wing and west extension. Main house 2 storeys, 3 bays, symmetrical. Plinth, sill bands. Central 6-panel door under moulded hood on corbels; 12-pane sash windows. Eaves cornice. Coped gables with moulded kneelers; stepped-and-corniced end stacks. Set back to left, single-storey 1-bay extension with 1910 3-light mullioned window and stepped-and-corniced end stack. Right return shows 12-pane sash windows and 6-pane attic sash; set back to right a single-storey 2-bay rear wing with renewed door and 12-pane Yorkshire sashes; attached pent closet on far right.

Historical notes: Formerly known as The Mansion, or Hatkin House; according to local legend the elderly owner built the house so that the prospect of inheriting it would entice a young woman to marry him. The first Bird Research Station in Britain was founded here in 1930; the house contains much apparatus and equipment used in early ornithological research, and is intended to open as a museum in 1987. Graded for historical interest. ,	Facts
