Rendered walls with exposed limestone in places. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills having six-over-six pane and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Segmental-headed door opening with spoked fanlight to front (south-east) elevation, having square-headed side lights, timber panelled door and limestone step. Rubble stone outbuilding with pitched slate roof to east. Cut limestone stile to front of rendered boundary wall having rounded cut limestone coping.

This fine vernacular style house is a notable architectural component of the landscape located on an elevated site above the road. The building's origins lie in the vernacular tradition with the fine stone work and decorative doorcase giving it a greater sense of grandeur more often associated with larger country houses. The limestone stile is an additional attractive feature.
