The house is two storeys, now symmetrical three bays with central projection with blocked first floor window and 19th century gabled stone porch. 19th and 20th century two-light casements. Projecting rectangular stair turret at rear, at lower end of original hall. End chimney stacks. Hipped slate roofed shippen with loft above projecting at right angles to dairy at lower end. Stables added at higher end in circa 18th and circa 19th century barn extension further uphill with later implement shed on front.

The original hall room has chamfered ceiling beams and open fireplace at lower end with chamfered timber lintel with scroll stops. Newel stairs to side of stack at back. Roof not inspected. Built on original land on the edge of Dartmoor Gisperdown Farmhouse is an interestingly evolved house which possibly originated as a longhouse.
