Square-headed door opening with ornately carved limestone doorcase with replacement glazed timber door flanked by limestone pilasters with carved console brackets and surmounted by dentillated carved limestone cornice, formerly having segmental detail or pediment above. Cobbled courtyard to rear of house entered through integral elliptical-headed brick archway in east range. Single- and two-storey outbuildings with pitched slate roofs and rendered and exposed limestone walls. Six-bay east range converted to accommodation, with recent rendered chimneystacks.

Appraisal
The well-proportioned façade of this house is enhanced by the decoratively-carved limestone doorcase which enlivens the building's appearance. The adjoining rubble limestone structure is unusual and may have been a former wing to the house. The well-presented outbuildings arranged around a cobbled yard work in conjunction with the house to serve a working farm.
