Recent conservatory to front elevation and single-storey extension to west elevation. Pitched slate roofs with timber bargeboards and cut limestone chimneystacks with terracotta chimney pots. Snecked limestone walls with external flue to east elevation. Square-headed openings with limestone block-and-start surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed opening with tooled limestone block-and-start surround and timber battened door to front projecting gable, east elevation. Six-bay single-storey outbuilding to west with pitched artificial slate roof and brick chimneystack. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed openings having replacement uPVC window and red brick voussoirs. Multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to north with pitched slate roof. Rubble limestone walls. Camber-headed window and door openings with limestone sills and red brick voussoirs.

This late nineteenth-century house displays good quality craftsmanship in its decorative limestone detailing, chimneystacks with terracotta chimneypots and timber bargeboards. Its asymmetric plan and irregular roofline is typical of late nineteenth-century architecture and affords numerous interesting vantage points. It is pleasantly situated in landscaped grounds and retains its outbuildings to rear.
