Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1810. Whitewashed rubble stone walls. Timber casement windows to ground floor, timber sash windows to first floor. Small timber door set in the central bay. Pitched slate roof with brick chimney stack to each gable end. Single-storey wing to the north with timber sash windows, and another single-storey wing with a pitched slate roof and large timber door to the south. Smaller whitewashed stone rubble outbuildings to the south and north-east with pitched corrugated-iron roofs and raised gables. Small oculus is set in the east gable of the southern building.

An attractive group of buildings retaining many original materials and an informal arrangement around the front yard. The dense vegetation covering the house almost disguises it in its rural wooded location, adding further charm to the landscape.
