In circa late C19 a small single storey wing was added at the centre of the rear. Exterior: 2 storey and attic. Symmetrical 3 window range. Ground and first floor windows to right and left are tripartite 8-pane sashes with flanking 4-pane sashes and at the centre of the first floor a 12-pane sash. All the sash windows have horns and there are probably late C19 or C20 replacements following the original pattern. A flight of granite steps up to the wide central doorway which has an early C19 6-panel door, the bottom panels flush, the top panels are glazed; the late C19 wooden porch with lattice side and asbestos slate lean-to roof. Attic casements in the gable ends. Rear elevation has 3 3-light casements on the first floor; a sash to the left on the ground floor and a plank door to the right. At the centre of the back a small gable ended single storey wing added later in the C19 with a corrugated asbestos roof. Interior not inspected. The early C19 joinery seems to be intact including panelled doors and a dog-leg staircase which has stick balusters and turned newels.
