Detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1780, having four-bay two-storey over basement block to rear (north) elevation and lean-to to west elevation. Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings to first floor having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and painted stone sill.

Segmental-headed opening having spoked fanlight over double-leaf timber battened doors with flanking sidelights having render risers. Limestone threshold to entrance. Square-headed opening to lean-to, south elevation having timber battened door. Square-plan rubble limestone outbuilding to west. Round-headed window openings with limestone sills. Five-bay two-storey outbuilding to south-west having pitched slate roof. Rubble limestone walls. Round-headed window opening to first floor with limestone sill and surround. Square-headed window opening to ground floor. Square-headed door openings with limestone lintels. Segmental-headed carriage arch having cut limestone voussoirs and keystone. Rubble limestone walls to south with pointed arch pedestrian entrance having cut limestone surround.

This house is of special interest due to its multi-period nature, the symmetry of the main nineteenth-century elevation reflects that of the earlier four-bay over basement block to rear. Despite its condition, the house retains notable features such as the slate roof and timber sash windows, which help to preserve the character of the house. The associated yard of solidly built outbuildings provides a context for the house, whilst the limekiln, now disguised as a folly, adds context to the group.
