Detached three-bay two-storey house, built 1836, with two-storey single-bay extension to south. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rooflights. Exposed rubble limestone walls with dressed quoins and with brick relieving arch over entrance and brick surrounds to window openings. Timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows with stone sills. Carved limestone doorcase with open-bed pediment and pilasters with fluted capitals flanking pair of glazed timber doors, with cobweb fanlight, and approached by limestone steps. Snecked rubble boundary walls.
This substantial house occupies a notable site, set back from the street on Summerhill, and dominates the street due to its size and scale. It is enhanced by its well-executed doorcase and retention of timber sash windows.
