L-plan two-storey house comprising three-bay north and west blocks, built c.1800, with canted full-height bay to west elevation of west block. Single-storey canted bay to north elevation of north block also. Pitched slate roofs, hipped to northwest, with brick chimneystacks. Rubble limestone walling to west block and snecked limestone to north. Square-headed timber sliding sash windows with brick surrounds, six-over-six pane to ground floor and three-over-six pane and two-over-two pane, some doubled, to first. Stable yard attached to south of house and consisting of four ranges, having breakfront to one side with elliptical archway having dressed limestone voussoirs and flanked by pointed niches with brick surrounds. Square-headed openings throughout with brick surrounds and having limestone sills and timber bars to windows and battened timber doors to stables. Square-headed archways through two sides with segmental and cambered brick relieving arches.
A well-built house and outbuildings to nearby Rockford House. The house may be a remodelling of former outbuildings. Features of the buildings, such as brick surrounds, the half-octagonal bay to the house and the retention of timber sash windows and slate roofs, give this complex considerable character and a worthy accompaniment to the main house.
