House. Rear dated 1738; fabric of this date may also survive to front otherwise altered early to mid. C19. Hammer-dressed stone, ashlar dressings, stone slate roof. Double pile on plan with 2-span roof. 3 bay symmetrical 2 storey facade. Doorway with architrave, pulvinated frieze and cornice, of which the blocking course forms the apron of the window above, sashed with plain stone surround. This feature may survive from 1738. To either side full height semi-circular bays with triple windows curved continuously including the sashes which have glazing bars. Between the storeys are raised and fielded panels. A cornice runs across the whole facade but chamfered rusticated quoins only at right side. 2 stacks to original gables, but roof now hipped to left over additional bay with Venetian window lowered to door with 2-light sashed window over.
