This country house is of apparent architectural form and detailing. The form of the building is articulated by the masonry dressings, such as the channelled limestone to the entrance level and the string courses. The imposing carved pedimented Doric porch adds artistic interest to the façade. Though now in poor condition, this building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and slate roof.
