Description
Detached three-bay three-storey former country house, c.1825. Full-height canted bay window to east end. Two two-storey wings to west end. Roughcast rendered walls.

Redundant gateway to east and small blocked doorway in adjacent section of boundary wall.
Appraisal
This asymmetrical mid nineteenth-century house, though possibly built in more than one phase, nevertheless possesses a certain charm due to its irregularity. Retains some original fabric, and remains an imposing feature on the passing road.
