Pitched slate roofs with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, timber bargeboards to gables, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Ivy-clad unpainted rendered walls.

Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house retaining the original form and massing together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric, thereby contributing significantly to the character of the locality.
