Camber-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, one-over-one pane to rear. Three-bay single-storey with attached lower three-bay single-storey outbuildings to east. Pitched slate roofs, rubble stone walls, elliptical-arched openings with red brick and cut stone voussoirs and square-headed openings. Rendered boundary walls with roughcast render panels, square-profile piers and sweep walls.
