Details House dating from the mid 18th century with later alterations and additions. Substantial 3-storey, wide 3-bay house fronting street with later rear wings forming U-plan. Harled, with painted ashlar margins, chamfered in the early, main, part of the house. It has a centre recessed depressed-arch entrance with side lights and double-leaf panelled door. Flanking ground floor windows are almost square, with wide tripartite windows in the outer first floor bays, the wide side lights probably added in the early 19th century. There is regular fenestration in the second floor windows. Glazing is multi-pane in timber sash and case windows. There is a projecting 3-storey, 3-bay wing at the rear, probably added circa 1800. A 20th century 2-storey wing also projects at rear forming a U-plan court: access to the first floor is by external brick stair. Roofs are slated with coped end margined stacks (missing at northwest gable apex). The interior is much altered and the rooms divided. The first floor dining room has a simple plaster corniced and segmental-headed buffet alcove. Drawing room in the first floor of the circa 1800 wing has later beaded panelling to window shutters and door. Plain moulded and painted wooden chimneypiece and simple plaster ceiling frieze.
