Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls having render quoins to south elevation. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls to windbreak. Square-headed openings with render surrounds, one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed to windbreak with half-glazed timber panelled door. Four-bay single-storey outbuilding to east with pitched slate roof and brick chimneystack. Painted rubble stone walls. Square-headed window opening. Segmental-headed carriage arches with dressed limestone voussoirs. Square-headed opening with limestone voussoirs and timber battened door. Pair of square-profile lined-and-ruled rendered piers with double-leaf cast-iron gates.

This vernacular house retains much of its original form and structure. The simple design is embellished by the projecting windbreak and decorative render details. The outbuildings are particularly notable for their well constructed form enhanced with finely cut limestone details and retention of slate roof.
