The farmhouse was originally a three-bay farmhouse of three storeys constructed in the early 1700s. The property has been greatly altered and extended over the past 200 years. The western gable was repositioned in the 1700s (including at least one original stone skew-putt relocated), and in the 1800s an extension to the centre of the south elevation formed a new formal drawing room with bedrooms above. This transformed the plan from linear to T-shaped. The attic floor had fallen out of use and the stair to the attic  removed. An earlier single-storey extension to the north housed a dairy. This has two pan-tiled roofs (the main house is slated) and forms a distinctive elevation with rounded corners and a hipped pan-tiled roof, split to accommodate the main stair window.

The proposals included the removal of dilapidated lean-to outbuildings to the east; creation of a new stair to the attic to provide additional sleeping accommodation; re-organisation of the northern lean-to include a larger rear entrance and coats area; relocation of the modern kitchen from the east wing to the centre of the house. Work beyond the house included the creation of a long new outbuilding along the east boundary to accommodate garden stores, ground source heating plant room and home offices, a new garage with gym and relocation of the main drive to enable reinstatement of the garden and improved access to the re-modelled north entrance.
