Detached five-bay single-storey house with bow fronted central entrance bay, built c.1810. Recent extension to rear (north). Hipped artificial slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed openings with six-over-six and four-over-four timber sliding sash windows having stone sills. Square-headed door opening with recent timber battened door and overlight. Outbuildings to rear and side (west).

A picturesque structure with a formal design, which is unusual in the local landscape. Its well proportioned form is enhanced by the retention of original features and it makes a notable contribution to the village's historic character.
