A large simple mid to late 19th century house with a large late 20th century extension. Now a residential nursing home. The main house is two storey with a lower side section, slate pitched roofs and shaped brick chimneys. It is white rendered. It has a solid front door, timber sliding sash windows and a green front garden. The lower west section may contain earlier remnants. The long rear extension is high quality and well designed. A small store west of the drive is a neat addition.
