Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, recent brick diagonally-set paired corbelled flues on rectangular bases, moulded aluminium gutters on eaves corbel course, square-profile downpipes. Unpainted roughcast rendered walling, smooth rendered quoins. Square-headed window openings, smooth rendered slightly-projecting reveals, stone sills, painted timber sliding sash windows, six-over-six to ground floor, three-over-six to first floor; tripartite sliding sash window to ground floor north elevation. Square-headed door opening, painted timber replacement door with four panels, overlight and sidelights. Set in grounds, garden to west, high rubble stone crenellated wall extending from south-west corner to slate roofed rubble stone outbuildings to south, rubble stone boundary wall with alternating high and low capping stones.

This fine house retains important features such as the early fenestration. Set close to the road, it is a notable addition to the local architectural heritage. The survival of a section of the original return adds interest to the rear of the house.
