Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c. 1900, having single-bay flat-roofed extension to rear (south) elevation. Pitched slate roof with painted brick chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls with painted brick quoins. Square-headed openings throughout, with painted brick block-and-start surrounds with four-over-four pane timber sliding sash windows and timber battened half door. Replacement uPVC windows and doors to rear elevation. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to front of site, having pitched corrugated-iron roof, rendered walls and square-headed openings. Rendered boundary wall and square-profile piers, wrought-iron pedestrian gate.
Modestly sized structure showing evidence of conscious design. One of several near identical small structures in this area, probably built for landless labourers following the passing of the various Land Acts from 1880 onward. Openings enhanced and emphasised by brick dressings. Retains much heritage fabric including unusual timber sash windows with horizontal panes, door and roof slates. Visible from road, adding architectural interest to roadscape.
