Details House, still in use, dated 1764. It is a three-storey, symmetrical three-bay house with a two-storey and attic single bay return wing to Institution Terrace (south). It is constructed from squared mixed rubble with painted ashlar margins and dressings, and a harled return gable and wing. The principal elevation has a centre entrance with a moulded lugged and corniced doorpiece, each spandrel with a single carved rosette. The first floor has longer windows, smaller in the second floor. The return gable has a single ground and later first floor window. The ground and second floor, and return gable timber sash and case windows have four-pane glazing in ground, and the first floor has 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The slate roof has an eaves cornice, margined end stacks and a sandstone ridge. Flat skews have a moulded and dated skewputt at the south-east corner. Inside is a narrow curved staircase, with an original moulded cornice in the first floor parlour (south-east), with a replacement section above the gable window. In the first north-east room is an original plain ashlar chimneypiece.
