Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1920, having central gabled bay with lean-to entrance canopy to front (east) elevation, single-storey extensions to north and south elevations and extensions to rear (west) elevation. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Single-pitched slate roof to canopy. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows having cut limestone sills. Square-headed opening with timber panelled door having stained glass overlight beneath timber canopy.

Situated within its own grounds, this attractive early twentieth-century house retains many of its original features. Although larger than most vernacular houses of its time, this building displays elements of vernacular architecture such as its timber sash windows and simple canopy.
