Description
The property is a house, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of four bays. It has roughcast lintel bands. The windows are sash windows with vertical glazing bars. The window to the first and second bays of the ground floor has a single-bar sash to the right of a mullion. The entrance to the third bay features a four-panel door. Gable-end stacks are present, with the stack on the left projecting. A right return is canted, featuring an attic window. A rear wing contains a horizontally-sliding sash and a casement window in what was formerly a ground floor entrance, and a pair of sash windows to the first floor. There is a band of patterned cobbled paving in front of the building.
