Hipped artificial slate roof, rendered chimneystacks and timber bargeboards. Roughcast rendered walls with render stringcourse. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Round-headed opening to rear with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window. Square-headed opening to porch having timber panelled door. Square-headed obscured by porch having glazed overlight over timber panelled door. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to north-east with single-pitched corrugated-iron roof. Rubble limestone walls. Camber-headed opening with brick block-and-start surround, fixed window and concrete sill. Pair of square-profile lined-and-ruled rendered piers having ball finials to caps, double-leaf cast-iron gates and cast-iron railings set in rendered plinths terminating in second pair of piers.
Interest is added to the plan and elevation of this former presbyter by the gable-fronted projection with ornate timber bargeboards. The timber sash windows and limestone sills are notable features, which enhance the façade and character of the house.
