The house is in the form of a U, with a partly-open courtyard behind. Built in the 16th century of brick, believed to have been imported from the Low Countries, the elevations were roughcast in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house has steeply pitched slate roofs and staged brick chimneys, with simple cornices. The front elevation has five bays and is nearly symmetrical. A three-bay central range is flanked by cross-wings with flush stepped gables. Framing the main entrance, the central bay has a large projecting porch, with a room above, also with a stepped gable, which now has plain bargeboards. Above an open lower stage, a jettied upper storey stands on Tuscan columns, which are of sandstone. A recessed plaque bears the painted arms of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, of which Clough was a member. In the gable apex, above the main entrance, there are iron tie-plates in the form of the initials "RC" and the date "1567", but the date does not appear in a painting by Moses Griffith dating from the 1770s.[2]
The front door, with six panels, dates from the 18th century and sits in a wooden door-case of four panelled pilasters, with side lights.[2]
The house has unadorned sash windows, with twelve panes on the ground floor and nine panes above, and with twelve-pane windows on both floors of the gabled wings. Inside, the front range of the house is believed to have arch-braced roof trusses.[2]
A single-storey extension has been added on the north side of the house, set back from the facade.[2]
