Detached three-bay two-storey over basement former glebe house, built c. 1810, now in private domestic use. Rectangular-plan, hipped artificial slate roof, artificial ridge and hip tiles, red brick chimneystacks, uPVC gutters fixed to painted timber continuous eaves course, uPVC downpipes. Painted smooth rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, tooled limestone sills, painted timber three-over-six and six-over-six timber sliding sash windows without horns, round-headed stair-light to north elevation, painted timber sliding sash window, single uPVC window to rear (north) elevation, wrought-iron window guards to basement. Segmental-headed door opening, painted timber door with six decorative raised-and-fielded panels, entrance flanked by painted timber fluted columns supporting frieze and spoked fanlight, granite steps to entrance. Ruined outbuilding to north-east, pitched slate roof, roughcast-rendered coursed rubble walling with red brick door and window surrounds. Set back from road, bounded by hedging and coursed rubble walling, ashlar saddle-backed coping, ashlar piers with shallow pyramidal caps, decorative wrought-iron gates.
This handsome well-proportioned early-nineteenth-century house was built as a glebe house. It retains many of its original windows, including a round-headed sash window with attractive sunbeam fanlights, the retention of original fabric further enhances all elevations of the structure. Symmetry and the ornate door opening to the centre of the main elevation give this building a restrained elegance which has both architectural merit and social significance to the area.
