Square-headed door opening to front elevation having channelled render pilasters surmounted by capped consoles and cornice with decorative ridge cresting, having glazed timber door with single-pane overlight. Square-headed door opening to side (north) elevation of return, having glazed timber door. Rubble stone boundary walls with square-profile piers having rubble stone coping and single-leaf wrought-iron gate.

Located in its own grounds, this charming house has been well maintained with neatly rendered walls complimenting the balanced façade. The traditional character has been maintained through the retention of historic fabric including sash windows, fine slate roof and glazed timber door. The render doorcase forms a handsome decorative focus.
