Silkmore is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries at the rear. It features a timber frame of thin scantling, which is underbuilt in whitewashed render and clad in whitewashed brick at the central break. The first floor frame on the ends has brick infill. The roof is plain tiled, hipped with a gablet to the right and lower and hipped over a bay to the left. The house has a lobby entry and is two storeys tall, with a central break. There is diagonal bracing to the first floor metal framed casement windows, with four on the first floor and three on the ground floor right, all situated under a continuous drip board. There are two windows to the ground floor left, each under separate drip boards. A panelled door from the 20th century is located to the left of centre in a 20th-century hip roofed brick porch. A ridge stack is positioned at the centre, and there is a pentice extension set back at the right end.
