In the gables are dated and inscribed shields. Inside, there is a large staircase, and a panelled room.
The grade II-listed former carthouse and stables are built of magnesian limestone, with a stone slate roof. There is a single storey, five bays, a later garage to the left, and an open three-bay cartshed to the right. In the centre are stable doors under flat heads. The former coachhouse, dovecote and stable block, now a house, is also grade II-listed. It is built of limestone with a stone coped stone slate roof. The central bay has two storeys and is flanked by lower two-storey five-bay wings containing casement windows and French windows. In the centre is a four-centred arched carriage entrance, over which is a stepped four-light window with a sill on consoles, and on the roof is an octagonal cupola and a weathervane.
In the garden is a grade II-listed summerhouse. It is built of sandstone with a corrugated iron roof, and is in Gothic style. There is a single storey, a square plan, and a single bay. On the angles are buttresses with pinnacles, and on the front is a doorway with a pointed moulded head, colonnettes, and a hood mould. Above this is an embattled gable containing an incised cross and with a pinnacle. On the sides are lancet windows. It is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "like a tiny Gothic chapel".
