Description

The house is three storeys high, with moulded eaves and a gutter. It has a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. Sash windows are present, with those on the first floor fitted with Venetian shutters. A projecting porch is centrally located, featuring rounded corner pilasters and an ornamental entablature. A later 19th-century projecting wing extends to the left.
