House, still in use, built in circa 1840-50. It is a tall three-storey and attic, three-bay house, set back from street with the front garden enclosed by a high wall. The building is harled with painted ashlar margins. The principal elevation has a centre entrance with a plain corniced doorpiece. There is regular fenestration, with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows. The outer bays have later canted wallhead dormers with multi-pane glazing, and two modern box dormers to the east (rear). The south gable has a narrow two-storey extension with a garden entrance in the ground floor and a single, pitch-roofed glazed sunroom at the first floor level. The slate roof has corniced and margined end stacks. Inside, there is a small entrance hall with paired Ionic marbled screen columns, a wide staircase with a decorative cast-iron balustrade and a simpler cast-iron balustrade to the second floor. At the first floor is a drawing-room with deep moulded skirting boards with beaded key-pattern, a later Georgian style ceiling plaster ornamentation and frieze, and panelled doors. The front garden is screened from the road by a high, coped harled rubble wall with a plain consoled doorpiece. A modern garage entrance has been slapped to the right. Rubble garden walls enclose the rear garden.
