Door of 6 panels fielded on the inner face with pointed-arched intersecting-tracery fanlight; a casement to each side of two 4-pane lights beneath the transom and a pointed arch above it with Y-tracery; a small wing to each side of main block has a blank pointed-arched opening filled with a grey slate panel; and corbelled brick verge to a lean-to roof. Ovolo brick eaves cornice to main block; replaced bargeboards to each end gable which has a tall 2-flue flush chimney with projecting bands. Two casements of two 2-pane lights in each gable, above the wing's lean-to roof. The rear has later lean- to outshut with no features of special interest and a 4-pane landing casement. The interior has doors of 6 fielded panels to the ground floor, a simple dog-leg stair with stick balusters and moulded rail, all intact. The attic has broad-boarded doors; both floors have iron HL hinges and blacksmith-made latches.
