A house of 2-storeys and an attic facing south, standing a little outside the main forecourt of Faenol Fawr mansion. Local axe-dressed limestone masonry. Restored slate roof. The house has 2 windows above and 2 windows and 2 doors below with restored joinery. Tall stone dormer a little left of centre on front elevation, and a corresponding dormer a little right of centre on the rear elevation, both incorporating a window at high level. The main gables and the gables of the 2 dormers are all prominently stepped. Ashlar chimney stack above left gable.

An additional unit has been added at left (west), under a slightly lower eaves level. Single-storey extension with lean-to roof at the left side of the rear elevation.
