Ground floor has 4-light chamfered mullioned window to side aisle set under wide gable. 5-light double chamfered mullioned window (lacks 2 mullions) is sashed. Over, to 1st floor, are 2 sashed windows with architraves set in the gable. 3 gables all with coping and ball finials to apex, kneelers and valleys. Inserted doorway has pointed arched lintel to left of double chamfered mullioned window altered to 2 sashes wih same over to 1st floor with hoodmould with circular stop. Former fire-window to left of date stone inscribed ESH 1704 (The Hoyle Family). 8-light mullioned and transomed window with same over to 1st floor. Break in stonework at junction with added wing which has 2 double chamfered mullioned cross windows to each floor and gable stack. Rear forms enclosed courtyard with an excellent pair of tall ashlar gate piers c.1704 with rusticated pilasters and pulvinated friezes, cyma moulded cornices, surmounted by ball finials. Rear of house has 2 coped gables with finials and mullioned and transomed windows with tall inserted stair window with architrave. To left, doorway with shallow arch has inscribed lintel dated 1626.

No. 6, the former parlour wing, has Tudor arched fireplace with carved shields set in sunken spandrels, cyma moulded surround with decorated lintel flanked by tall fluted Doric pilasters with faces carved on the pedestals. Full entablature enriched by fluting and roundels. Dog-leg stair with raised and fielded dado panelling. King post roof with V struts.
