Exterior: Of 3 bays, box framed, with central chimney stack backing onto passage. Originally of 2 storeys with cellars, 6 square panels to wallplate. Roof raised by 2 shallow panels to new wallplate height with 3 dormer windows above. Infill panels are all rendered probably over brick nogging. W gable reconstructed with brickwork during C19 alterations, E gable rendered overall. Slate roof coverings. Rectangular 2 storey rear wing at W end of whitened rendered masonry, probably built as later service wing, now with corrugated iron roof. Modern 4 panel half glazed S entrance door. Windows are C19 casements, attics and first floor with 6 light, ground floor with 9 lights, 2 modern windows at W end of S elevation.

Listed as a good, late example of high quality timber framed construction with alterations illustrating social and domestic development.
