Two-storey outbuildings to yard with hipped slate roof, painted smooth rendered walls, and having square-headed openings with timber battened doors and half-doors.

Appraisal
This house is carefully proportioned with symmetrically-spaced windows and centrally-placed chimneystacks. The finely-made classically-designed doorcase with pediment gives the building a sense of grandeur which is further enhanced by its tall windows. The retention of roof and windows contributes to the heritage value of the building and the associated outbuildings contribute to its setting.
