Detached five-bay single-storey with attic house, built c.1815. Outhouse and additions to west elevation. Recently renovated and now in use as holiday home. Pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Smooth rendered walls over granite rubble work with occasional stones protruding. Square-headed window openings with replacement one-over-one and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with concrete sills. Square-headed openings to entrances with replacement timber glazed doors. Outhouse with single-pitched roof of corrugated iron and dry stone granite walls.

This recently refurbished house retains much of its original form and character, primarily through the use of new but traditional-style materials as seen in the thatch and replacement timber sliding sash windows.
