Lime-washed smooth-rendered walling, moulded cornice to porch roof. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted two-over-two timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening, painted timber panelled door. Forecourt and lawn between house and road, painted smooth-rendered boundary wall to east, dry stone walls to west, wrought-iron double gates on square smooth-rendered piers, single-storey rubble-stone outbuildings with corrugated iron roofs to north.
