Description

The original house is 2½-storey, of white-painted brick, slate roof on projecting eaves, and end brick stacks. Its 2-window front has 3-light casement windows under earlier segmental-headed openings, and 2 flat-roof 3-light dormer windows. A probable original central entrance, blocked when a new entrance was created in the extension of the house, is obscured by vegetation. A 2-window extension set back on the R side has a higher eaves line and lower ridge, and brick stack to the R. It contains the main entrance to the house, a panel door to the L, R of which is a 3-light window in both storeys with wooden mullions and transoms. A similar cross window is above the doorway. On the L side is a 1-storey extension with 3-light mullioned and transomed window, then a lean-to with corrugated asbestos-cement roof , which has a boarded door and 3-light segmental-headed window, with another door at the L end.

The 2-window rear of the main house has inserted half-lit doors to the L, segmental-headed 3-light window to the R, and in the upper storey similar 2-light and 3-light windows. Set back to the L is the later extension, with 3-light and 2-light windows similar to the front, and on the R side the 1-storey extension has an outshut with 4-light window and 2-light gabled roof dormer.

The older part of the house has a larger room on the R side, and smaller room to the L, both with joist-beam ceilings, suggesting a traditional hall and parlour plan. Behind the L-hand room is a full-height, closed-string dog-leg staircase. The upper storey rooms also have joist-beam ceilings, and boarded doors. The main entrance in the late C19 or early C20 extension leads into a stair hall, which has a dog-leg staircase.
