Estate cottage in minimal Tudor-Revival manner. Consisting of a main E-W range with advanced wing to L (W), creating an L-shaped plan, and short cross-gable to rear. Constructed of snecked rock-faced red-grey masonry with yellow limestone dressings under tile roofs. Three square masonry stacks with offsets and dressings; 2 eaves stacks to the N side and one to the W gable. Most of the windows are under prominent relieving arches, have sandstone mullions and inserted iron-framed windows with large panes. Main doorway to S under pointed arch, containing a planked door with overlight. Above it is a 3-light mullioned window, with a 2-light mullioned window to its R in the lower storey. The S gable of the advanced wing has similar windows; 3-lights to the ground floor, and 2-lights above, with a narrow opening in the gable apex. The E gable end is similar, but the ground floor window has been replaced with a C20 casement. The W gable has single lights to the lower and upper storeys and a narrow opening above. To the rear is a planked door to the R with square head. It is approached by stone steps rising from E to W, bound to the N by iron railings. The N cross gable has a single light to the upper storey and the same to the W side. To the rear of the house is a linked outbuilding, effectively a lean-to against a N boundary wall. It is of the same fabric as the house, but with a front (S) wall in Flemish bond brickwork, containing 3 planked doors and a C20 window.
