Description
The property is a house, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a later addition to the rear. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a grey slate gambrel roof and a central chimney stack. The house is two storeys high. A single-storey lean-to porch is located at the rear of the right return. The front elevation has a two-window range of small-paned sliding sash windows; the ground floor windows are vertical, while those on the first floor are horizontal. A small triangular window is located on the ground floor to the right. A vertically boarded door is set within an elaborate trellised porch with a hipped roof. The house originally had a back-to-back fireplace, now with 20th-century surrounds.
