Only the decorative tile border to the floor paving, and the chamfered dwarf brick walls of the conservatory survive. The wing has central three bays projecting slightly with French windows on ground floor, corbelled corner turrets, and parapet stepping up at centre. Left bay is blind. The ground floor windows have pointed arched glazing bars to upper lights.

At rear left of main block, leading from back door, is a 1983 brick and glass corridor (not included in listing), linking main block to Clock Tower building (q.v.) and to 1983 brick and glass office building (not included in listing).

The clock in the Clock Tower building (q v) is dated 1840 and this could well be the date of the house as well.
