Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted timber two-over-two sliding sash windows exposed sliding sash cases to first floor; painted timber casement window to north. Square-headed door opening, painted timber door with obscured glass panel. Outbuildings to south and south-east, corrugated-iron roofs, lime-washing walling, square-headed openings, corrugated-iron doors.

This complex consisting of a house and farm buildings is a fine example of a vernacular grouping in which farm and residence are inextricably linked. The house has retained its original charm and much early fabric.
