Description
Detached four-bay two-storey over basement former country house, c.1845. Smooth rendered walls with parallel render quoins. Rusticated ashlar limestone basement. Timber sash windows with architrave surrounds. Pediments and balustraded balconettes to ground floor windows. Timber panelled door set back within flat-roofed, open-fronted porch with elaborately carved limestone frieze, inner walls and opening surrounds. Stained glass windows to side walls.

Appraisal
A substantial mid nineteenth-century house which, though superficially quite plain, possesses a remarkable porch and staircase group with many finely executed decorative features, significantly enhancing the building. Retains its original proportions and some other original features.
