History

Of pebble-dashed rubble stone and synthetic slate roofs. The main range has a stone stack to L and hipped roof to R; the front wing has battered walls and a steep roof. The main range has a 2-bay front with paired hornless sashes (taller in the lower storey) and a doorway to R beneath a C19 decorative iron canopy (part repaired in wood). The wing gable end has a similar tripartite sash in the lower storey and a paired attic sash above. In the L side wall is a blocked doorway (visible inside).

The R side wall of the original house wing has a paired sash window to the centre and a raking half dormer with sash window to R. The rear wing has a tall rock-faced stack rising from eaves to L and a casement below the wall plate offset to R. In the lower storey is a central boarded door with pantry window to R and casement in earlier opening to L.
