L-shaped storeyed house, the primary range facing E. Of rendered rubble with gable parapets and plain end chimneys; C19 graded slate roof with unusually large-grade slates towards the eaves (queens). Near-centre entrance with mid-C19 6-panel door (upper 4 panels glazed) and 4-pane rectangular skylight; later C19 open-work timber porch in front. To the L a large late C19, recessed 4-pane sash window. To the R a mid C19 16-pane recessed sash; three similar 12-pane windows to the first floor. To the rear, an 8-pane sliding sash to the first floor. Two 12-pane first floor windows as before to the S (road-facing) gable, with a plain late C19 storeyed wing. Rubble construction (whitened to the road side) and slate roof with two plain rendered stacks; plain (renewed) bargeboards and deep verges. Road-facing facade with modern glazed door to the R and C19 tripartite sash window immediately to L of 4, 8 and 4-panes; further, 2-part sash window to the L, of 8 and 8 panes.

Adjoining the rear of the main house to the N, Brynmor Cottage, a further C19 storeyed range.

Slated lean-to to W gable; further lean-tos to the rear of the main block of Brynmor, and to the rear of the later wing.

Evidence of a former cross-passage plan; late C19 pine staircase grafted onto cut-down primary oak post-and-panel screen in passage (now entrance hall). Former hall to the L with large stopped-chamfered inglebeam to fireplace; a mural stair (to the L) disappeared long ago and now only a recess remains. C18 plaster cornice and plastered ceiling beams forming a compartmented ceiling. In the R ground-floor room, the uprights survive to a former post-and-panel partition separating the parlour from a service bay; these will simple grooved decoration. C18 wig closet in upper L room (occupying former stair space); pine shelving one surviving bracket.
