Detached irregular-plan two-storey rendered house, built c.1930, with single- and two-storey porches and return. Canted-bay windows to south-facing elevation with uPVC windows. Steel casement windows with concrete sills. Hipped tile roof with rendered chimneystacks. Three-bay two-storey rendered outbuilding to site, with corrugated asbestos roofs and external steps to east gable. Rendered piers and cast-iron gates to entrance.
This irregular-plan house is very unusual and is of architectural interest. Located in a mature setting, with its original entrance gates and outbuildings, this house retains many original features and materials.
