Two storeys, 4 window range of square headed windows. To right, original house, 3 windows have two lights and one on ground floor has 3, all with sunk chamfered mullions, hoodmould and stops; replaced diamond quarry glazing.

Centre left stone porch has timber gable and decoratively panelled door. Rubble wall to front retains stone stile across entrance with small step to one corner and modern iron gate over.
