Description
A 2-storey double-fronted house of roughcast walls over stone, and slate roof with end rendered rectangular stacks to the main range and at the end of the rear wing. The front faces SE and has a central doorway with panelled door (part glazed) under a modern gabled porch. Windows are 16-pane hornless sashes, the upper-storey windows beneath the eaves, the lower-storey windows with cambered heads. On the L (SW) side the rear wing is a 2-window elevation with 16-pane sash windows, larger to R. A lean-to porch/conservatory obscures the lower R window. On the opposite, NE side, where a former cartshed has been taken into the house, are sash windows in the upper storey, a 2-light small-pane casement lower L and 2 inserted mid C20 windows lower R.
The garden to the front (SE) of the house, and the yard to the SW are enclosed by stone walls.
The entrance hall has a main stair with swept handrail, stick balusters, and tapering newel. Most rooms retain panelled window shutters; the doors in the front of house are 6-panelled, and principal rooms and bedrooms have C19 fireplaces. One ground-floor door is a simple boarded door with hand-forged ironwork. There is a second (service) stair near the rear kitchen with boarded partitioning. The doors in the rear of the house suggest a late C19/early C20 re-ordering of this area. The ground-floor front room to the N of the entrance hall has an arched recesses flanking the chimney. The front bedroom (S) has built-in panelled cupboards.
