Pitched slate roofs, clay ridge tiles, stone corbelled chimneystack with clay pots to main house, projecting painted timber eaves and bargeboards (decorative to porch), cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughly-coursed squared rubble walling. Square-headed window openings, rubble stone voussoirs, stone sills, uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening, hardwood half-glazed door c. 1990.

Outbuilding to rear with rubble stonework and pitched corrugated-asbestos roof.
Appraisal
This modest and delightful house is well-proportioned with porch canopy, steeply-pitched roof and rear return building all contributing to the composition. Natural materials such as slate and locally-sourced stone further enhance its appearance.
