Description
This is a villa dating to around 1840. It is constructed of tooled squared stone with raised, tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings, and has an ashlar cornice. The roof is covered with Welsh slate. The building is symmetrical, with three bays over two storeys. A plinth is visible at the base. The central entrance has a renewed glazed door under a plain fanlight set within a segment-headed opening with a moulded hood supported by consoles. There are 12-pane sash windows throughout, each set within surrounds with a horizontal block at the head and foot of each jamb. The eaves have a cornice with paired, moulded brackets. The hipped roof includes two stepped-and-corniced panelled ridge stacks.
The returns are similar, with two bays each, but the right return has a canted ground-floor bay. The rear elevation has a vertical-panelled door, slightly left-of-centre, with a plain overlight, and a tall 24-pane sash stair window to the right.
Inside, the open-well staircase features stick balusters and octagonal newels.
An altered rear wing does not contribute to the building's group value.
