Three-window 2-storey house with entrance bay offset to left and with lower flanking wings and rear staircase projection. Constructed of rubble stone under slate roofs. End stacks to main range, of brick to L and stone to R. The front faces S, away from the road. The openings have segmental voussoir heads. Planked front door immediately L of centre flanked by 6-over-6-pane horned sash windows. The upper storey has 3-over-6-pane horned sashes aligned with the openings below. Lower wing to L has a multi-pane window to the ground floor and a blind window above. The lower wing to R has a planked door and window, also with a blind window above.

The W gable end has a late C20 6-pane window to the upper storey and a small flat-roofed projection adjacent to the ground floor. The rear side faces the road; to the L of centre is a staircase projection with catslide roof. A 2-light multi-pane casement lights the stairs. Two small skylights to the main roof pitch and one to the R wing. Single storey brick lean-to to R with 2-light casement window and doorway into W side.

On its L and at a slight angle is a large bakeoven with a segmental brick head. Doorway to R to kitchen. The hall originally had a rear door next to the staircase, now blocked.
