ashlar plinth, quoins and dressings; Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings.
T-plan. Garden front 2 storeys, 3 bays, the third projecting slightly under
front gable; late C19 sashes in central stone-mullioned corniced canted bay and
in left window in architrave under scroll pediment; sill bands to C20 sashes
above, flanking eroded sundial with pilasters and cornice. Square ground-floor
bay window at right with alternate-block rustication, and stone-mullioned
overlight on cornice; pilastered parapet above in front of paired late C19
sashes under C19 scrolled pediment with raised central panel; overlapping gable
copings, with ball finials on right front gable; corniced ashlar chimneys on

Interior: architraves, 4-panelled doors and some panelled window-shutters;
cellar shows re-used rafters, some with carpenter's marks and stopped chamfers,
as joists; panelled stucco beam along centre of left 2 bays suggests earlier
fabric remains.
