Detached house. Dated 1717. Ham stone near-ashlar, coursed rubble to sides and rear; plain clay tile roof with stepped coped south gable, plain to north; brick chimney stacks. Two storeys with attic, 4 bays. Ovolo-mould mullioned windows of 3 lights with labels, bays 1 and 3, the former with horizontal bar inserts; to bay 2 are 12-pane sash windows in plain openings: between bays 1 and 2 a moulded cambered-arched doorway with moulded flat stone hood on simple brackets, and bay 4 has tall stable-type door under timber lintol: on north side through waggon-way, the roof carried on 2 tall stone piers, with side wall against house timber-boarded over a lias stone base, tie-beam roof. Further mullioned window in south gable, also an oval attic window. Extensions to rear. Datestone over front doorway reads CD1717.
