Description

The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins and features a tiled roof and a stone stack on the left gable. It has two storeys and an attic, with one bay. The front includes three light leaded casements with moulded wooden mullions and timber lintels. There is a gabled dormer with a similar 2-light window. The right gable has similar casements, although the ground floor window there is modern. To the right, there is a single-storey brick extension that is set back and includes an entry and a single leaded casement. To the left, there is a large two-storey stone extension with two bays of similar 3-light windows and a garage entry on the left.
