Pitched slate roof with oversailing eaves, central gable, terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods.

Round and square-headed window openings with timber replacement windows and painted sills. Timber replacement door with side and fanlights in porch with pitched slate roof. Outbuildings to rear. Cast-iron water pump in yard. Site bounded by squared random coursed walls with soldier coping. Rock-faced ashlar gate piers and wrought-iron gates.
Appraisal
Despite some modernisations, this building retains the essential characteristics of its original design. A central gable, projecting porch and two window styles are attractive features that create a pleasing exterior. The setting of the house is enhanced by the wrought-iron entrance gate and bounding rubble wall with soldier coping.
