Central brick ridge stack. House set-back and extending to right has ashlar quoins, doorway with monolithic lintel to left of window with small-paned Yorkshire sash; other window above, partly obscured by northern cottages, indicating the house is earlier than the cottages. Coped gable with shaped kneelers. 2 stacks to either side of ridge. Rear: ground floor has 2 doorways with three 4-pane sash windows set between, all with lintels with false voussoirs in render. 1st floor has large 18-pane window which formerly lit a taylor's workshop. To right, 2 windows with projecting sills. Coped gables. Stack set below ridge.

Interior: heavy stop-chamfered spine beams carried on dressed stone columns may indicate the building was originally timber-framed. One post on padstone survives. Formerly the workshop of Denton and Son tailors and livery-outfitters, known to have made the livery for the staff at Chevet Hall (demolished).
