Painted roughcast rendered walling; smooth rendered, projecting plinth, quoins and porch.

Square-headed door opening to porch, painted smooth rendered reveals and soffit, painted timber panelled door. Fronts onto quiet road at corner T-junction; single-storey outbuildings to east, pitched corrugated-iron sheeted roofs to east and west buildings, slate roof laid in decorative fish-scale patterning to central building in range, painted roughcast rendered walling, enclosed yard with rendered boundary walls to north and east.
Appraisal
This brightly-painted example of vernacular rural architecture may be based around an earlier structure. The unadorned but well-proportioned façade is characteristic of the type, while fine outbuildings are an important survival with one displaying a particularly attractive patterned slate roof. This house serves to act as a reminder of the importance of traditional building styles in the local landscape.
