A rear kitchen ell was demolished due to deterioration, but was reconstructed in 1975 in a manner sympathetic to the main house. in 1975. The main block is a center-hall plan, with two rooms to each side of the stair hall. Outbuildings include the store, which retains its original shelving. An 1802 barn completes the ensemble.
