Residence in simple classical style with 4-bay 2-storey front with attic.

Stone mullioned and transomed windows with flat stone lintels and sills, brick reveals, and containing horned sashes. Entrance to R of centre with double panelled doors and narrow small-pane side-light, in brick surround with heavy stone sill band. Curved stone brackets support a prominent segmental stone pediment with decoration to centre including roundels. Above the porch is a 4-light stepped window (stairlight) with small panes under a broken triangular pediment supported on short fluted shafts with foliage. Under its apex is a shield with 3 chevrons and relief foliage. To upper storey, 2 x 2-light windows L of stairlight, and one to R. To lower storey, 3-light window R of entrance; 2 single lights to L and 2-light window to far L. Small brick ridge stack to centre and large stack to NE angle of roof pitch. Two late C20 flat-roofed attic dormers with 3-light uPVC windows. The former chapel adjoins the R side of the building and has an advanced apse to front. It is single-storey, rendered and lined, with a flat roof, except for a pyramidal rooflet towards centre. Stone dressings including a plinth, wide moulded cornice and pilasters with fluted and foliate capitals between windows, which have flat heads and C20 wooden glazing. Three windows to apse, formerly 3 to W side, that to R now obscured by a small lean-to. A large steel fire-escape staircase leads over the top of the roof to the upper storey of the house. The S addition to the chapel is roughcast with a hipped roof to W end.
The E end of the house has a central doorway with inset half-glazed panelled door reached by concrete steps; small-pane side light immediately L. Above is a tall stairlight to back staircase cutting through the chequered string course. It is 2-light with small panes. The upper storey has a small light to R of stairlight, with small panes to upper sash, and mid-late C20 windows with concrete lintels to far R and L of stairlight. To lower storey L is a lean-to with boarded door. To rear, the chequered band to eaves cornice continues, but that to string course is narrower. Three 2-light windows grouped towards centre of upper storey, with further windows flanking. Two attic dormers as front and 2 small brick stacks to L. Three large windows to lower storey with segmental heads and brick surrounds, and large-pane wooden glazing. Some are altered; part of the R window is converted to a doorway leading onto a terrace (now playground). The rear of the chapel extension has a canted bay to the L with pyramidal roof and 2-light windows with quarry glazing above the transoms; door to R. The playground is retained by a snecked stone wall with late C20 brick parapets, and reached by 2 flights of steps with steel railings, which are supported on 4 round arches of stone and brick.
