Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1840, with gable-fronted porch to front (south). Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed window openings with render sills having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Pointed arch window opening to porch with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window. Square-headed door opening with uPVC door. Outbuildings to rear of site having single-pitch corrugated-iron roofs, rubble stone walls and square-headed openings. Fronting directly onto roadside.

This simple, handsome dwelling occupies a prominent corner site position. Despite some alterations the building retains it original form and integrity, which is evident in features such as timber sliding sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. A pointed arch window to the porch enhances its otherwise modest appearance.
