Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830. Attached outbuilding to north. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, smooth rendered ruled-and-lined corbelled chimneystacks (recently repaired to east gable), concrete verge coping, cast-iron gutters to overhanging eaves, some replacement uPVC and aluminium gutters and downpipes. Painted roughcast-rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, dressed limestone sills, painted timber four-over-four and two-over-two sliding sash windows, c. 1880; six-over-six sliding sash window to east elevation; painted timber casement windows to north. Segmental-headed door opening, roll moulded render surround, painted timber panelled door with glazed upper panels and sidelights c. 1880, leaded anthemion fanlight, limestone threshold and paving. Set in own grounds; attached single-storey outbuilding to north forming east range of square courtyard, single and two-storey lime-washed random rubble masonry outbuildings, pitched slate and corrugated-iron roofs, square-headed openings, cast-iron lattice windows to east rang, some painted timber vertically-sheeted doors; random rubble masonry boundary wall with limestone coping; entrance to south-east having limestone square gate piers with pyramidal caps and wrought-iron gates.

This attractive handsomely proportioned house is a fine example of rural architectural development in the early years of the nineteenth century. The well preserved farmyard is of particular importance to maintaining the integrity of the site. Balanced proportions contribute to a pleasing façade and this building is a point of architectural interest on a much trafficked main road.
