Square-headed window openings with render surrounds and timber sliding sash windows, two-over-two pane to front block and six-over-six pane to return, with limestone sills.

Porch has timber glazed sides and glazed timber panelled door with sidelights, and step to front with cast-iron bootscrape. Curved entrance gateway with square-profile inner and outer piers, inner rendered, with rubble limestone walls.

This house is enhanced by the retention of features such as the timber sash windows, limestone sills, porch, and bracketed eaves course. The porch which retains its sidelights and slate roof is an attractive later addition. The site retains its limestone piers which enhances its setting.
