In the parish church there is a commemorative window to the Meeson family after which the house is named.
The residence is built of brick on a sandstone plinth to the older part with rendered elevations to the south and west. The formal early nineteenth century front elevation has uniform sash windows and contrasts with the informality of the gabled brick elevations to the rear.
The house provides a superb blend of both formal and informal living areas to the ground floor and offers excellent sleeping accommodation to the upper two storeys.
