Detached T-plan five-bay two-storey house, built c.1880. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta ridge cresting, timber bargeboards and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls with continuous label mouldings above window openings. Square-headed window openings having render sills and replacement timber sash windows. Three-light stained glass Venetian style window to rear (north) elevation with rendered surround having central round-headed window opening with flanking square-headed side lights. Elliptical-headed door opening to front, with carved timber doorcase comprising engaged fluted pilasters flanking timber panelled door and sidelights, surmounted by fanlight and having flight of render steps.

This distinctive house retains many interesting features which exhibit fine craftsmanship, such as the carved timber door case, stringcourses and stained glass window. Built on the site of an earlier building, it retains much of its late nineteenth century fabric intact. Set at a junction, this house is a notable feature of the landscape.
