Segmental-arch entrance to cobbled yard, with dressed sandstone voussoirs and jambs. Seven-bay two-storey stable block with hipped artificial state roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with square-headed openings, louvred fittings to first floor and timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows to ground with limestone sills, and double-leaf timber battened doors with two-pane overlights.

Double-leaf cast-iron gates to road entrance, set to cut sandstone gate piers with plinths, caps and ball finials, flanked by rendered walls terminating in rendered piers with plinths, caps and ball finials, with tooled limestone wheel guards.

Although this house has been extended, the original form of the house is still discernible. Both blocks retain many features and materials such as the timber sash windows and the wrought-iron balcony, the L-shaped chimneystack being an unusual feature. The related stable block, with its intact interior, and the fine entrance gates, contribute significantly to the setting of the house
