Two-storey, two-window original part with two 12-pane hornless sashes above, centre 16-pane cambered-headed sash below and 6-panel door with overlight to left. All windows and door restored c2000 when matching one-window range was added to right, slightly lower roof and slightly set back. Rendered end stack. 12-pane sash over 16-pane sash, matching those on original range. Twelve-pane sash on each floor on end wall. Tooled stone sills throughout.
Parallel rear range continued along behind No 12, thin coursed rubble stone with slate roof. Two 12-pane sashes above, one centre 16-pane sash below, with cambered heads and stone voussoirs. Gabled single storey outbuilding to right, at right angles, shared with No 12.
