Additional single-storey and double-height outbuildings to rear having pitched slate roofs of random rubble limestone construction, some with red brick voussoirs to segmental-headed carriage openings.

Appraisal
A mid-nineteenth century house of balanced Georgian proportions that retains its character in spite of subsequent additions and alterations. An interesting outbuilding directly to the rear appears to have been the original house on the site, it retains interesting vernacular features including a windbreak and corrugated-iron roof. The house, its vernacular predecessor, outbuildings, boundary walls and entrance gate form an interesting group that illustrates the history of occupation on the site.
