Part creeper- or ivy-covered repointed coursed or snecked limestone walls on cut-limestone chamfered plinth with cut-limestone flush quoins to corners. Square-headed window openings centred on drag edged rusticated cut-limestone date stone ("1862") with cut-limestone sills, and cut-limestone lintels framing replacement six-over-nine timber sash windows.
