Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having opposite doorways and four-bay rear elevation. Pitched reed thatched roof with rendered copings to gables, low rendered chimneystack. Whitewashed rubble limestone walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement timber windows and painted surrounds. Square-headed narrow doorway to front with glazed timber door. Small garden to front bounded by low stone wall painted white. Single-storey outbuildings to yard at rear of house, having pitched roof and lean-to structures with rendered walls.

This is a very neat and well kept vernacular house. It has retained important fabric such as its thatched roof and its form, including small windows and a narrow front doorway. The three-bay front belies the four-bay rear elevation. Its setting is pleasant and enhanced by the walled front garden and its associated outbuildings.
