House, dated 1804, with additions and alterations in 1905. The two-storey house is constructed of rubble, and has slate roofs that are mainly piended. The main block is oriented North-West/South-East, with the South-West facing elevation projecting gables to the North-West and South-East. To the North-East of this block is a single-storey quadrangular range, with an internal open rectangular court that has a narrow opening to the North-West. There is a three-bay two storey section to the North-East elevation of the range, with timber louvred windows to the second floor. The 1st and 2nd edition OS maps show small rectangular buildings to the North-East and East of the house, which are still there. The South-West facing elevation has two storeys and five bays. The central bay is has a pediment, supported by pilasters. There are similar pilasters at each end of the elevation. The windows have 12-pane glazing, apart from two narrow windows flanking the central first floor window. There is an early 19th century sundial in front of the entrance, with a circular fluted shaft, octagonal cap and table dial. The South-West facing entrance was previously covered by a Roman-Doric porch, which was moved to entrance in the North-West elevation in 1905. The South-East elevation also has a narrow doorway, as well as two gabled dormers breaking the wallhead. The re-entrant angle between the North-West elevation and the range to the rear is filled with a single bay, which is sitting diagonally to the orientation of the building. It has a first floor gabled dormer, breaking the wallhead of the range buildings.
