Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1910. L-plan, gables to south and east elevations, half-dormers to east, two-storey return and single-storey lean-to to west, square-plan single-storey flat-roofed entrance porch to east elevation at angle of "L". Pitched slate roof, clay crested ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystacks, decorative painted timber bargeboards, moulded cast-iron gutters on painted timber eaves boards, square-profile cast-iron downpipes. Painted roughcast-rendered walling, painted smooth rendered plinth, smooth rendered block-and-start quoins. Square-headed window openings, paired to ground floor and east gable, lugged-and-kneed moulded smooth render surrounds, painted stone sills, painted timber casement windows with stained glass overlights. Round-headed opening to porch, painted lugged-and-kneed moulded smooth render surround, prominent keystone detail, square-headed door opening, multiple-pane overlight, sidelights, painted timber and glazed door, encaustic tiled floor to porch. House set back from road in own grounds, complex of rubble stone outbuildings, to south-west; garden to east; rendered boundary wall. Entrance gateway to north-east, rendered gate piers and quadrant walls, wrought-iron gates.

This attractive handsomely-proportioned house is typical of architectural developments in the early-twentieth century and the combination of gable fronts and half-dormers, juxtaposed with a squared-profile entrance porch is very characteristic of the type. Fine detailing, including timber bargeboards, stained glass overlights, encaustic tiles and wrought-iron gates is also characteristic and contributes significantly to the building's architectural interest and overall appearance.
