Description
The property is a house, dating from 1893, and built in a T-plan layout. It is white-painted roughcast with a slate roof that overhangs and is boarded at the eaves, featuring plain bargeboards. The main range runs north-south and is one and a half storeys high with an east-facing chimney. A single-storey wing projects to the west and has a deep hipped roof.
The house has small-paned casement windows that are flush with the wall and have thin, moulded cornices. A high, battered plinth runs up to the ground floor sills. The north gable end, which faces the drive, has verges supported by two large, curved timber brackets. A first-floor triple casement window has a cornice that extends as a string course to the brackets, and a stuccoed semicircular shell motif is abutted by scrolls in the gable above this window.
On the ground floor, a canted timber bay window has a battered base and moulded cornice with larger windows, including top lights – three to the front and one to each canted side. A moulded timber string course is continued each side of the cornice and around the west side. This west side is windowless to the left of the projecting wing, but contains a stuccoed oval date plaque indicating “1893” above the string course.
The west wing has a leaded, flat dormer that straddles the ridge where it joins the main range. A recessed door is located on the north side in the angle to the left, and there is a pair of casement windows centrally. The west end features a large triple casement window with top lights that break the eaves beneath a moulded cornice, with the eaves swept out. The south side has a longer roof on the left, a casement pair to the attic, and a ground floor half-hipped lean-to. The east side has a door and a casement window. The east-side chimney has decorative terracotta chimney pots.
