In use, 1911. "In good repair", 1976. Now disused. Hipped slate roof with pitched (gabled) slate roof to porch, clay ridge tiles, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-limestone eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Part creeper- or ivy-covered rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with drag edged dragged cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing six-over-six timber sash windows. Set in unkempt grounds on a slightly elevated site with ivy-covered tooled limestone ashlar piers to perimeter having overgrown capping.
