Single-storey returns to each end at rear, and lean-to and pitched roof additions to rear. Hipped slate roof, pitched to returns, with rendered chimneystacks having terracotta chimneypots and carved timber bargeboards. Coursed limestone rubble walls with some painted render. Square-headed timber casement windows, double to first floor and tripartite and quadripartite to ground floor. Latticed window to north elevation.

Appraisal
This middle-sized house is enhanced by its casement windows and latticed door surround. The gabled bays create numerous interesting view points. The building incorporates the fabric of a school named on the first edition Ordnance Survey map.
