Detached cruciform-plan five-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1780, having central full-height bowed breakfront bays to front (south-east) and rear (north-west). Lean-to single-storey extension to rear. Half hipped slate roof with cut stone eaves course, hipped slate roofs to breakfronts. Rendered chimneystacks to rear and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls to front elevation with white washed walls to side (south-west) and rear elevations, exposed rubble stone walls to side (north-east) elevation. Square-headed window openings having tooled limestone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Six-over-six pane timber sliding sash window to side (north-east) elevation. Square-headed door opening set in breakfront of front elevation, having replacement glazed timber door, partially blocked. Square-headed door opening to extension having timber battened door. Two-storey outbuilding to rear (north-west) having pitched corrugated-iron roof, rubble stone walls and mixed square-headed and segmental-arch openings. Set within its own grounds.
Set within its own grounds, this house is a striking addition to the architectural heritage. Of particular note are the bowed breakfronts, which create an unusual cruciform-plan. Its unadorned appearance and symmetrical plan is typical of its time, as is its short drive and relatively close proximity to the road.
