Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystack. Corbelled rendered canopy with cast-iron cresting over windbreak. Painted wet-dashed walls, smooth rendered plinth.

Single-storey outbuildings to either side of front yard have pitched corrugated-iron roofs and painted wet-dashed walls. Rendered walls and piers to site boundary.
Appraisal
The small irregularly-spaced windows, sheltered siting, and outbuildings forming a yard to the front are evidence of the vernacular origins of this house. Typically, its originally windowless rear façade faces north, for heat retention purposes. The bowed windbreak is a notable example of the personalisation and differentiation possible with vernacular houses.
