Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, having single-bay lean-to to southwest gable and later porch addition to front. Pitched slate roof with dressed stone end chimneystacks and copings to gables. Lime render to walls. Tripartite six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to front end bays, single windows elsewhere, two-over-two pane to porch and one-over-one pane to lean-to and with various other windows to rear, all with limestone sills. Two casement small-pane windows to rear. Glazed and panelled doors to porch and main entrance, with timber battened door to lean-to to rear. Single and two-storey stone outbuildings to rear retaining pitched slate roofs. One building has small-pane timber windows and battened doors with rubble limestone walls and dressed voussoirs to openings. Garden to front of house bounded by rendered walls with wrought-iron garden gate.

Although no longer lived in this attractive house is well maintained and has survived in good condition. It is very intact with no later alterations affecting the original character or form, with the exception of the front porch. The small-pane windows are of particular interest and are likely to be original to the building. They retain the majority of their original hand-blown glazing which is a rare survival after approximately one hundred and fifty years. The large windows and cut-stone chimneystacks are of unusually high quality for a house of this size. The outbuildings are also of good quality construction and in good condition.
