Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills to front (south) elevation, having two-over-two pane sliding sash windows. Door opening to front elevation within doorcase, obscured by foliage.

Appraisal
This fine well-balanced house displays attractive symmetrical proportions, a hipped roof and round-headed doorcase, which are typical of middle sized early nineteenth century houses. The setting is enhanced by the outbuildings and fine entrance that add character and context.
