Large L-plan town house with 3-storey main block and lower rear extensions. Roughcast limestone rubble with slate roofs, that to the main block steeply-pitched to the rear and medium-pitched to the front. Tall lateral chimney and end chimney (to the R), both with weathercoursing and plain cornicing. The facade is symmetrical and of 3 bays, with a central entrance via 3 late C17 segmental stone steps; early wrought iron boot scraper. Early C19 six-panel door with 4-pane rectangular overlight and moulded architrave; simple wooden cornice. Contemporary 12-pane unhorned sashes to the ground and first floors, with similar 9-pane sashes to the second floor; projecting sills. The windows and entrance have simple lugged stucco surrounds, with associated quoining and plain sill bands to the upper floors.

Early gabled, 2-storey wing to the rear, rendered and with 12-pane sash windows, as before, to the ground and first floor on the gable end; further plain late C19 sash to the L on the ground floor. Extruded in the angle between the two early blocks is an L-shaped late C19 2-storey addition with slated roof and end chimney to rear; scribed stucco with C20 casements; further modern, single-storey lean-to additions to the rear and side, the former a porch.

Plastered, chamfered lateral main beams to the main ground floor rooms, with large ogee stops of second-half C17 character. The former hall has a wide fireplace with exposed rubble breast and wide bressummer (damaged). Primary cellar beneath the parlour, via 8 stone steps. This has old plastered walls with 5 square niches and 2 blocked, splayed cellar lights. The cellar retains its original cobbled floor in 3 convex sections with drainage channels in between; stopped-chamfered ceiling beams.

Good oak dogleg stair of c1670, with moulded rail and flat pierced balusters of complex profile; square capping to square newels. The stair returns in a short gallery at the first floor and then continues as an L-shaped flight to the second floor. Two-panel fielded doors to first floor cupboard (made up) and further stopped-chamfered, plastered beams to first floor rooms, with panelled window reveals. Fireplace with late C18 iron grate to a first floor front-facing chamber; the floors to the upper storey are of broad oak planks.
