Regency-style house rendered and painted white, consisting of a main range with parallel NE and NW wings behind. The 2-storey main range is the C18 house remodelled C19. It faces the garden and is 3-bay under a hipped roof. The roof has swept, boarded eaves projecting on brackets, stone tiles (with slate to rear slope) and tall stacks L and R. In the upper storey are 16-pane hornless sashes. In the lower storey are tripartite sashes L and R, with C19 three-quarter-lit door in the centre flanked by glazed panels and with an overlight incorporating radial glazing. A veranda has paired Doric columns and moulded entablature (with small-pane glazed panels to the returns).

The C19 entrance front faces E where the 2-storey NE wing is lower and has slate roof and central ridge stack. The end wall of the main range is 2-window with 12-pane horned sashes. In the NE wing the entrance is to L with service rooms to R separated by a high forecourt wall. Doorway to L has fluted pilasters and a canopy carried on console brackets. The door is 6-panel beneath an overlight with small-pane glazing in lozenge patterns. Flanking windows have architraves, small-pane glazing and incorporate a top-hung casement with radial glazing. Further R are a pair of narrow horned sash windows, beyond which, separated by a wall, are 2 tripartite sash windows facing a yard. In the upper storey are 4 similar tripartite windows. (At the end of the NE wing is a late C19 2-storey gabled projection incorporating service rooms. Further service rooms are in lean-tos behind the wings.)

The L side wall of the main range has double hip with sash window above a glazed door with glazed flanking panels to L. To R is a similar 12-pane sash window in the lower storey. A narrow recessed bay, with sash windows incorporating radial glazing and a circular attic window, is between main range and NW wing. The NW wing is two-and-a-half storey with 3 windows. Hipped roof dormers have 2-light casements with small pane glazing. In the upper and lower storeys are tripartite sash windows to centre and L. To R are paired 9-pane sash windows in upper storey and French doors flanked by glazed panels below.
