Details Villa, still in residential use, built in the later 19th century. It is a two-storey, attic and roof terrace, two-bay, T-plan gabled villa that is constructed from tooled, coursed pink granite with ladder snecking to the north elevation and granite rubble to remainder. There are tooled dressings that are finely finished to margins, a battered base to the north, decorative ironwork finials to the apex of the north gables and overhanging eaves with timber barge boards. A variety of small-pane timber sash and case and casement windows are used. The green-grey slate roof has a lead ridge, a coped granite gablehead, wallhead and ridge stacks with circular cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Features include an advanced gableted porch to the centre of the principal north elevation, with decorative king-post piercing and a pointed-arched stop-chamfered doorway with two granite steps, flanked by iron bell-pull and with a pointed-arched rib-panelled timber door. A circular tower adjoins to the outer east angle with two windows to the ground and first floors and a conical fishscale tiled roof with a weathercock finial to the apex. There are harl-pointed granite rubble boundary walls with rubble coping. A boarded timber ancillary structure is set in the wall to the south-west of the house.
