A picturesque small country house of 2 storeys and attic, of coursed stone painted white, slate roof with barge boards, 3 roughcast ridge stacks, and a projecting stack behind. The house has a main range with projecting bay and porch L of centre, a gabled wing further L, and a short rear wing. Windows are replaced with small-pane steel-framed glazing. The timber half-glazed porch has panels below small-pane glazing and upper lights with X-shaped glazing bars. Double half-glazed doors have a pointed head. The balcony above has a cast-iron balustrade of open cusped arches, reached by a pointed glazed door. To the R are narrow windows in each storey, then a full-height canted bay window under a hipped roof. The wing on the L side has solar panels and a 2-light hipped roof dormer in its side wall. In its gable end is a canted bay window in the lower storey and pointed window above.

In the R gable end of the main range are inserted French doors lower R. In the upper storey is a 2-light window to the R and to the L a 2-light ovolo-mullioned window, probably a detail salvaged from the earlier house. The attic has a pointed 4-pane sash window. In the rear elevation is a window in each storey - of which the upper-storey window is carried above the eaves. The rear wing has a higher eaves line but lower ridge than the main range. It has windows in its L side wall and gable end. In its R side wall is an external lateral stack, probably part of the earlier house, the upper portion of which is roughcast. Further R the main range has two 8-pane horned sash windows in each storey, under gables in the upper storey. A lean-to against the gable end of the main range has a similar upper window, beneath which is another lean-to with a panel door and louvred pantry vent to its R. Its side wall faces a steep bank and has blocked, and small-pane and 4-pane sash windows.
