Gabled dormer breaks wallhead; slate roof with projecting eaves. Lean-to additions at rear.

The gateway comprises a pair of square rusticated ashlar gatepiers with stepped cope supporting tall urn finials; a matching third pier (no urn) is positioned approx 5m to the south-east separated by beech hedge (off line on west); the equivalent piers on the north, close to the lodge, has been reduced in height and a section of the cap is missing (on grass on south of drive). No gates survive. Dressed stone and coped walls approx 1.2m high walls curve round to the Dyke road at the south-east and in a straight to Kennel Road to south-west, here terminated by a lower pier. On the opposite side of the road is a fragment of old wall (cut by the railway fence line) and a pier of the same style, remnants of the pre-railway and pre-lodge layout at the end of Kennel Road shown on the 1770 Brown plan.
