Multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to north with pitched slate roof, iron skylights, remnant cast-iron rainwater goods, roughcast to red brick walls. Complex of original and modern outbuildings frame yard to south across road. Four-bay two-storey outbuilding with modern extension to south gable to east of yard. Collapsed pitched roof, red brick eaves course, rubble stone walls, external stairs to north gable entrance, square-headed window openings with red brick reveals and timber framed shuttered windows, square-headed door openings with depressed red brick arches over, carriageway with red brick segmental-headed arch over. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to west of yard and corrugated shed to east and overgrowth to west with integrated three-bay two-storey outbuilding to north gable and two-storey return to mid rear. Pitched slate roof, remnant cast-iron rainwater goods, remnant limewash to rubble stone walls, square-headed window openings, with timber lintels over cut stone sills, timber shuttered windows, and windows blocked in, square-headed door openings with timber lintels over.

A well-built house, of mid nineteenth century date, that retains much of its original form and character despite being extended along its length. Its visual appeal and integrity is enhanced by the retention of salient fabric such as the slate roof and the timber sliding sash windows. The substantial complex of well-built outbuildings add significantly to the setting and context, and is an interesting survival in its own rights.
