Flat roof and monopitched extensions to rear of street frontage. Pitched slate roofs, artificial slate to former houses, with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Slate hipped roofs to canted bays. Snecked tooled limestone walls. Square-headed openings to first floor of all elevations with tooled limestone sills, tooled cut limestone voussoirs and replacement uPVC windows. Painted limestone sills and timber casement windows to canted bays.

Prominently sited on a corner at the main crossroads, this building forms a key part of the villagescape. The building displays fine workmanship in its limestone construction. The village has many buildings of similar scale and construction, including the former Market House and former Parson's House, this careful detailing serves to visually unify the built fabric of the village.
