Description
Detached L-plan two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1890, with two-bay two-storey flat-roofed extension and single-bay single-storey lean-to to rear (north). Pitched slate roofs with timber bargeboards and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with red brick quoins. Camber-headed openings with red brick block-and-start surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed openings to rear.

Rubble stone boundary wall.
Appraisal
Tall regular form articulated by red brick surrounds, which enliven façade. Canopy to door a notable feature. Enhanced by boundary walls and forms a pair with nearby structure of almost identical form and detailing. Built as an officer's house, it contributes to the history of the island.
