Detached two-storey house, built in 1776, with three-bay two-storey front added c.1870. Return to rear and extension to east. Set within its own grounds. Hipped and pitched slate roofs with terracotta ridge tiles, red brick chimneystacks with terracotta pots and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with rusticated quoins. Ruled-and-lined render to rear. Replacement uPVC windows with rusticated surrounds to front. Round-headed door opening with rusticated surround, timber spoked fanlight and timber panelled door with sidelights. Limestone steps to door. Three-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear with hipped roof and random coursed walls. Integral carriage arch to central bay with cut stone surround. Oculus to first floor. Pitched single-storey outbuilding to east. Wrought-iron gates to front and rear. Ruled-and-lined rendered sweeping walls to entrance with wrought-iron railings and concrete piers.
The regular form of this house is enhanced by the render detailing to the front elevation. The rusticated quoins and door and window surrounds are skillfully executed and enliven the otherwise plain façade. The fine stone outbuildings are also noteworthy, displaying striking features like the oculus and central carriage arch opening. The wall, railings and piers to the road form an interesting entrance, exhibiting a variety of materials.
