Exterior
House, attached at left. Roughcast rendered with deep-pitched slate roof, swept eaves and and corniced brick end stacks; asbestos roof to rear. Two-window range of small-pane casement glazing. Timber lintels. Centre right doorway with boarded door. A shallow offset at left.
Interior
Interior reported as retaining two staircases, one of which rises beside fireplace, possible evidence of upper cruck construction.
