Timber sliding sash windows to main block with decorative horns, six-over-one pane to front elevation and six-over-two pane to gables, and replacement uPVC windows to projections.

Appraisal
The 25" OS map, published 1906, shows a constabulary barracks on this site. This house may incorporate some of the fabric of the barracks. It has good render details, and the retention of varied timber sash windows enhances its appearance. It has a strong symmetry, articulated by the central chimneys and porch, paired windows to the end bays, and by the projections. Its saying gives it a visual prominence in the rural landscape.
