A large farmhouse with an unusual and striking facade, probably designed by Thomas Wakeman (owner of the Graig House estate between 1836 and 1868). Built of coursed rubble with a slate roof, fishscaled on the front slope. The main range is rectangular on a NE-SW axis, facing NW, and there is a service wing attached to the rear of the NE end. The front is long and 2-storeyed in a symmetrical composition of which the striking feature is a pair of large projecting gabled bays flanking a recessed central doorway. These are designed in a Tudor style quirkily translating some characteristics of timber-framed building into stone: at ground floor each has squared corner pilasters with Norman-style cushion capitals, and a mullioned window with a hoodmould and 3 round-headed lights with small-paned glazing; and the upper floor is slightly jettied with stone corbels mimicking the ends of joists, and has a prominent canted oriel window with transomed Tudor-arched lights, the mullions at the angles carried up as small "battlements" to the parapet. All these windows are now painted white. In each gable is a small loop-light, and the verges of the roof oversail. The narrow space between the gabled bays is spanned by a fancifully-fretted fascia to a flat roof protecting the inner doorway, which is Tudor-arched. The outer bays are blind. On the roof ridge to left and right of the gable roofs are chimney stacks each with 4 clustered shafts, the front ones diagonal and the others square.

The rear wall, which appears to be older than the front, is 3-storeyed and has various small segmental-headed windows very irregularly disposed, all with altered glazing; a tall and narrow round-headed stairwindow in the centre; and 2 very small square windows immediately beneath the eaves of the SW, with wooden surrounds, saddle bars and apparently unglazed. There is a small modern lean-to attached to the rear of the SW end. The service wing attached to the rear of the NE end, a 4-window range of 2 lower storeys, has a lean-to verandah covering two-thirds of its ground floor level, and windows with altered glazing, those on the upper floor oblong with segmental heads, regularly disposed.
