Detached two-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1920, having porch to side (north) and flat roof extension to rear (west). Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards with finial. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed window opening to porch, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window.
