The red brick building has a wide double storey frontage with a courtyard surrounded with single storey buildings. It was originally a hospital, School house and schoolroom, with alms houses,about 1875.
It appears to have later become unused and suffered wear and neglect. It was restored into residential use 1985 and is managed by a charitable trust under the Wentworth Estates.
