Hipped slate roof with rendered and brick chimneystacks. Pitched slate roof to outbuilding. Rendered parapet to roofline having cornice and string course. Rendered walls with render plinth course. Roughcast rendered walls to outbuilding. Square-headed openings to first floor with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and continuous render sill course. Blind-round headed openings to ground floor having inset square-headed six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows with cast-iron sill guards and painted sills. Round-headed opening with cast-iron cobweb fanlight over timber panelled door with flanking fluted Doric-style engaged columns. Limestone threshold to entrance.
