Roughcast rendered walls, with plinth to porch.

Segmental-headed door and round-headed window openings to ground floor of two-storey canted bay to west. Box-bay to south has moulded cornice to ground floor window.

Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to west having pitched corrugated-iron roof, roughcast rendered stone walls and square-headed openings, some with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and timber battened doors and pitching door, and segmental-arched vehicular entrances with dressed limestone voussoirs. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to north having pitched corrugated-iron roof, painted rubble limestone walls and square-headed openings with four-pane fixed timber window and timber battened double-leaf doors. Further outbuilding to west is multiple-bay and single-storey with pitched slate roof and rubble limestone walls, with wall vents and square-headed door openings.

This house, which retains the fabric of an earlier structure, was remodelled in the early nineteenth century, possibly by the architect W. H. Hill. This house is typical of the Arts and Crafts style with a turret and porch to the façade. The various projections break up the long elevations and the interesting roofscape enhances this complex house. The retention of features such as the panelled door and limestone sills adds further interest. The various outbuildings provide important context to the site.
