Pitched slate roof with shallow oversailing eaves supported by carved ends of rafters, red and yellow brick chimneystacks, sections of cast-iron rainwater goods.

Square-headed window openings, with segmental-headed openings to first floor windows of front elevation. Replacement uPVC windows. Original panelled timber door having segmental-headed multiple pane overlight. Square-profile squared rubble stone gate piers and flanking walls with replacement gabled capstones to piers and Scotch coping to walls. Rubble stone outbuildings to south.
Appraisal
An attractive and compact house, in which the robust stone exterior is enlivened by red brick dressing. The house is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials, such as the original timber panelled door, red brick dressings, and slate roof. The house is highly visible from the road on a slightly elevated site. It forms an interesting group with the surviving related outbuildings and well-crafted entrance gates.
