Square-headed openings to extension having six-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows having cast-iron sill guards. Square-headed opening having glazed overlight over timber panelled door. Flight of cut limestone steps to entrance. U-plan single-story multiple-bay range of outbuildings to rear with cobblestones to courtyard. Pitched slate roof having terracotta ridge tiles, with corrugated-iron roof to east range, cast iron rainwater goods, rubble sandstone and rendered chimneystacks.

This well maintained house retains many original exterior features, most notably the cut stone steps, sills and sash windows. The classically inspired form with chimneystacks to gable-ends is characteristic of late eighteenth-century domestic architecture. The ranges to the rear add context to the site.
