The original south-west front (No. 4) is symmetrical, with a projecting centrepiece of two storeys, 2:1:2 windows. The features are of stone; coupled mullioned windows with chamfered reveals, and C20 metal casements, doorway with a broken pediment, console brackets, architrave and a C20 oak door. The central lights are small casements and between these and the doorway is a stone plaque, with arched head, inscribed "This House Erected by this Parish of Ringwood 1725". To the north of the oldest part there is an extension of similar size, (Nos. 2 and 3) but the elevation has been much altered, with three upper lights (the middle and original C18 leaded casement in a wood frame), three ground floor smaller casements and two C20 doorways; the rear elevation also has three original upper windows. The north end comprises a further extension (No. 1) of 1:2 storeys, 2:2 windows, painted brick walls of Flemish Garden Wall bond, with cambered openings (the upper blank), and a lower pitched slate roof (hipped to the two storeyed section). The interior retains most of its original timber framed struct- ure, with verticals to each bay and two to each cross section, the oak framing being chamfered; there is also a massive chimney breast to the north side of the oldest unit. Associated with the main building are two small single-storeyed utility blocks, set back from the roadway, with walls of brick and stucco, and slate roofs.
