Outshut added at rear of left-hand room in C19. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front of C20 one and 2-light casements in small openings. C20 gabled porch towards left end and plank door to right of centre. At rear is outshut to right. To left of centre on rear elevation is original 2-light window with central square section timber mullion and leaded lights. Interior : All 3 rooms retain their plain granite-framed fireplaces.
