Description

This is an earlier 19th century, two-storey and attic house, originally with a three-bay wide frontage, facing west. A later, single-storey and attic, two-bay wing was added to the south gable in the late 19th century. The house is harled throughout. A panelled door is centrally positioned. The windows have 12 panes of glass, with two later canted dormers featuring two-pane glazing. The roof is slate, with flat skews and late 19th century skew-putts. Corniced end stacks are present. A two-storey, single-bay bathroom wing is located to the rear. A contemporary, single-storey, harled rubble byre range is also situated to the rear, with a corrugated iron roof.
