Quarry tile gable coping, post 1886. Single storey, double-fronted with window each side of ledged door. Windows were small-pane sashes in 1886, now C20. Small rubble stone outbuilding to left with corrugated-iron flat roof (slate gabled roof 1886).

Two-bay roof with tie-beam truss, loft with ladder access, unheated room below. Small fireplace to main room.
