The masonry consists of rubble, roughly hewn into cuboids , which was laid to form layers of masonry . The north-west facing main facade of the two-story building is five axes wide. The central main portal has an architrave with an ornamented keystone and simple cornices . If the main façade is made with exposed brickwork, the side gable façades are plastered with Harl , with borders being set off. The masonry of the outbuildings and the garden fence are made of quarry stone. The coach house is designed with a round arched door.
