Comprising single-bay single-storey gabled projecting open porch to centre having ogee-headed opening, single-storey canted bay window to right, single-storey box bay window to west elevation and single-bay single-storey return to rear to south. Pitched slate roof with gable copings having corbelled springers, paired octagonal rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron hopper and downpipe and gabled half-dormer. Painted roughcast rendered walls with render plinth, and render date plaque to porch. Timber mullion-and-transom frames with iron framed lattice glazing, limestone sills and render hood mouldings.
