Central one-over-one timber sash window to porch flanked by tall side lights with margin panes. Door to side of porch concealed from view.

Garden to front enclosed by random rubble wall with apex coping and forged double gates in rendered panelled piers to east of front entrance.
Appraisal
A substantial house of unpretentious design, embellished by a later porch with elegant glazing. The house follows a solid symmetrical type built by strong farmers in the second part of the nineteenth century. Substantial outbuildings complement the complex and a separate front garden demonstrates the social status of the farmer. The house is enhanced by interesting features such as banded brick, sash windows, quoins, and forged gates among other historic site features.
