Rendered in roughcast with slate roof with swept overhanging bracketed eaves and corniced brick stacks, at end right and at former division on ridge. Two storeys. Three-window range to the main unit and one to end left: 12-pane sashes with exposed frames, shallow sills; 20-pane to ground floor. Wide segmental-arched latticed porch to part-glazed panelled door. Garden walls project on either side of frontage and join slender iron railings with centre rail and spear finials which extend across whole frontage, incorporating a gate at centre right.

Interior

Main interior is one room deep with open fireplace with timber lintel and stairs rising beside; boarded doors either side. Chamfered and stopped cross beams. Fine post and panel wooden screen adjacent to front entrance. Stone flags to rear and at lower level a former cellar.
