Detached six-bay single-storey house, built c. 1860, facing north, triple-pile to western two-thirds, eastmost bay being recent addition, and having recent two-storey addition to angle of plan, and recent single-storey additions to south and recent gabled portico to front. Canted-bay windows to east gable of middle pile and to rear of rearmost pile, with Pitched slate roof with shallow overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hipped slate roof to east end of rearmost pile. Smooth rendered walls. Round-headed window openings to west gable of front pile, square-headed elsewhere, having chamfered surrounds and limestone sills, with render label-mouldings to front-facing elevations having decorative stops. Square-headed door opening to front elevation flanked by pairs of rendered pilasters and having double-leafed timber panelled door, approached by cut and rubble limestone steps. Detached two-storey outbuilding to rear with rubble stone walls. Square-profile coursed rubble stone piers to yard, with caps and double-leaf wrought-iron gate.

This modest house retains its attractive mid-nineteenth-century appearance and is enhanced by its timber panelled door with pilasters and by the label-mouldings to the front windows. The house is sited on elevated ground in a mature planted landscape.
