Roughcast rendered walls, with smooth rendered eaves and plinth courses to front and south elevations. Square-headed glazed timber casement windows with painted rendered sills. Dormer window to rear. Square-headed half-glazed timber panelled door with sidelights. Timber porch has dentiallated cornice and flight of rendered and limestone steps. Square-headed opening to recessed bay having half-glazed timber panelled double doors with sidelights, advanced by flight of rendered steps. Five-bay lofted single-storey outbuilding to rear with half-hipped slate roof and painted rendered walls, having square-headed replacement windows and timber battened doors.
