A two-storey house in brickwork with slate roofs and brick chimneys. At front (south) the house is of Flemish Bond, at sides and rear it is of English Garden Wall Bond. Modest roof projection at eaves and verges with plain bargeboards.

The main (south) elevation is triple-gabled, with symmetrical outer gables and a narrow middle gable advancing. The main door is central, with six panels, pilasters consoles and cornice; plain overlight. Above this is a 12-pane hornless sash window. The windows of the outer bays are similar in 16 panes, above and below.

The rear range projects slightly at east. The early chimney incorporated into the east gable end of the rear range is of mixed rubble stonework, heightened in brickwork to two storeys. Irregular rear elevation with boarded door under bracketted slated lean-to hood. Three of four upper windows with horizontally sliding sashes; one mullion and transom window below with horizontally sliding sash. Lower-roofed long two-window C19 extension at west: upper windows with mullions and transoms, set close to eaves, with sliding sashes. (Another similar at front above conservatory.) Lower windows with brick-arched heads.

In the south-west angle is a modern conservatory with brick plinth. Tall boundary walls at north; detached washhouse against west side.

Modernised interior said to retain some timber lintels and beams including bressummers to wide fireplaces in dining-room and bothy and slate flagstones. Repositioned Adam-style chimney-place in front living-room.
