Semi-detached three-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1870, having gabled end-bay, crenellated porch to front (east) elevation, and projecting gabled bay with full-height bay window to south elevation. Single-bay single-storey lean-to to north elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and ornate A-frame timber bargeboards having trusses and quatrefoil motifs. Timber bargeboards to dormer windows. Rendered walls. Pointed arch openings to dormers, porch and gables, second floor some having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, some with replacement uPVC, and limestone sills throughout. Square-headed openings having replacement uPVC windows, all with limestone sills. Pointed arch opening to porch with timber battened door and cast-iron strap hinges. Pair of rendered square-profile piers to south.

Fine example of a Victorian villa, which illustrates the late nineteenth century penchant for the Tudor Revival style in a domestic setting. The house is distinguished by the A-frame bargeboards with trusses, which add artistic interest to the façade.
