A single storey gabled porch to the front. Built of rubble masonry, rendered, the right hand (NW) side elevation slate-hung. Slate roof, axial rubble stone stacks with square-set brick shafts; left (SE) gables hipped, right (NW) end pitched with gable stacks.

The rear (SW) elevation is symmetrically planned 2-1-2 with windows as for the left-hand block of the front elevation; the windows in the advanced block without hoodmoulds. The NW elevation is slate-hung and the SE elevation slightly jettied, the first floor hung with a large slate plaque which bears a latin inscription and date: A. S.
