Pitched slate roof with section of replacement artificial slate, clay ridge tiles, and no rainwater goods on rendered eaves.

A modest-scale farmhouse stylistically reminiscent of a contemporary (c.1825) range (12404203/KK-42-03) on the opposite side of the road, thereby identifying a design type particular to the locality. Retaining the essential composition attributes together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric the external expression of the house has not benefited from the insertion of inappropriate replacement fittings to many of the openings. An attendant outbuilding of comparably modest quality enhances the group and setting values of the site in a rural setting.
