Hipped slate roof with overhanging sheeted eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor and nine-over-six pane to ground floor, all with limestone sills. Tall eighteen-pane timber round-headed window to south elevation. Entrance comprising carved limestone doorcase with round-headed archivolt with ornate keystone having star motif and carved limestone entablature with floral motifs. Spoked timber fanlight and timber panelled double doors. Walled yard to rear having railings to west. Multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to north end of yard with pitched slate roof and rendered rubble stone walls, having two-storey gable-fronted central bay with octagonal brick chimneystack and ornate timber bargeboards and elliptical-arched carriage entrance to ground floor with timber casement window overhead. Pitched slate roof with decorative bargeboards to gable front. Dressed limestone piers with cast-iron gates.

Architectural quality and refinement are apparent in the design of this house and farmyard. The limestone surround to the doorway of the house is finely carved with decorative motifs which add artistic interest to the house. The outbuildings and gates form an interesting group of related structures with the main house.
