Its horizontal plan is composed of a single floor, divided into various spaces and covered in tile roofing.[1][2] Entrance into the building is made by large portico surmounted with a coat-of-arms framed in sectioned gables, over cornice.[1][2] The coat-of-arms was sculpted in the 18th century, and belongs to the descendants of the Cardosos, Farias, Amarais and Coutos hereditary lines.[2] The doorway gives access to the main courtyard and Couto de Homiziados (a frontier space that provided sanctuary from justice).[1][3] This principal facade is surrounded by porch supported by cylindrical columns with rectangular base.[1]
Doors around the house follow the lintel line, while the sash windows have granite frames, which are repeated all around the property.[1] The rear facade, also with access to the interior, is preceded by five granite steps.
A chapel abuts the lateral facade of the residence, built in 1722 and dedicated to Santo António, with its main entrance topped by a niche with the image of the patron.[1][2] To the right of this portico was originally a pulpit in rock, since removed.[2]
The parcel's surrounding walls have several openings to access the patios.
