Red brick with floor bands, Welsh slate roof. Double depth plan with entry to right. Three storeys and attic, three windows set almost flush with the wall, 6 over 6 pane sashes under segmental arches, the sashes are late C20 replacements. Doric doorcase with pediment and radiating fanlight, 6-panel door. Swept gabled dormer which is early C18 in character, paired stacks on left gable. Rear elevation is partly obscured by an extension. Tall stair window, mullion-and-transom window, both C19. Swept gabled dormers with 2 x 2 pane casement, this is early C18 in character.  

Interior
Interior not available at resurvey.  

Reason for designation
