This 2-bay ashlar-fronted dwelling is decorated with quoins, a plinth and cill band to the 1st floor. The sides (and probably the rear) are of rubble construction. The roof had been slated until recently but is now covered in felt. A separate pedimented entrance bay and corridor hall was added in the later 19th century, which now also has an off-centre timber doorcase with fluted pilasters and a timber panelled door with light over.
