Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1840, with recent two-storey flat-roofed extension to rear and recent conservatory extension to north gable. Pitched artificial slate roof with red brick chimneystacks. Painted smooth rendered walls, having render quoins and plinth. Square-headed window openings with moulded render surrounds, painted sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening with render surround and replacement timber panelled double doors with decorative overlight and flight of limestone steps. Ruined outbuildings and medieval towerhouse to rear. Cut limestone piers and rubble limestone walls with cast-iron double-leaf gates.
Although extended and altered, the main elevation retains its characteristic form and quality. The render quoins and window surrounds serve to embellish and define the structure of the house. The asymmetrically and unequally spaced openings, the long narrow form with pitched roof, and the square-headed doorway are pointers towards the vernacular rather than polite farmhouse origin of this building.
