History

Early C19 of 2 storeys and basement, enlarged later C19.

Exterior

Two-storey house with walls with renewed roughcast (replacing earlier scribed front) and 2-span roof of renewed slates and trailed barge boards. Roughcast stack to R and further stacks behind. In the upper storey are 4 12-pane sashes above a plat band, the 3 windows to centre and R defining the earlier house and the window to L the later C19 enlargement. In the lower storey are French doors to L and R with margin glazing and overlight. A central doorway (inside recent classical-style porch) has an overlight and double doors with margin glazing over a single square panel. In the L side wall is a canted bay with sash windows to R, and 2 12-pane horned sashes to L in lower storey. The rear elevation has tripartite sash windows to L and R in the upper storey with a 4-pane sash between. In the lower storey are 2 sashes to L and later casement windows. The R side wall has added lean-tos and a Gothic style 3-light mullioned and transomed window with a 2-centred head.

Interior

Plan form and details are late C19. A central stair hall has an open-well stair with wreathed handrail. Main rooms are to L and R. Otherwise mostly modernised internally. A 2-bay cellar beneath the earlier house is reached by stone steps and is tunnel-vaulted in stone.
