Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings, set into round-headed niches to ground floor, with limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Round-headed door opening having elaborate cobweb fanlight and timber panelled door with carved timber pilasters and cornice. Splayed limestone steps to entrance having cast-iron railings to sweep walls and to basement area to front of house. Triangular-plan outbuilding attached to courtyard wall, having lean-to slate roof and rubble limestone walls with pointed arch doorway. Slightly-projecting elliptical-arched carriage entrance to yard having cut limestone voussoirs and inscribed date stone 1804. Elaborate limestone gateway to main road entrance.
The regular form of the building is enhanced by the rendered niches to the ground floor windows which add interest to the symmetrical façade. The fanlight adds an ornate central focus to the house. The carriage arch retains a date stone which gives context to the site. The elaborate entrance gates form an attractive roadside feature are notable for their finely carved caps which are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen.
