Single-bay single-storey porches to front (south) and rear (north) elevations, two-bay two-storey extension to rear. Pitched artificial slate roof with red brick chimneystacks. Timber bargeboards to gables. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with painted tooled stone sills. Two-over-two pane replacement timber sliding sash windows. Replacement uPVC windows to rear. Pointed arch door opening having timber panelled door with timber framed sidelights and overlight. Approached by single tooled limestone step, flanked by recent cast-iron lamps. Coursed rubble limestone boundary walls. Detached five-bay single-storey outbuilding to rear. Pitched slate roof. Coursed rubble limestone walls. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills and red brick voussoirs, and having replacement uPVC windows.
