There is also an early photograph showing the blocks unpainted and the house without the glazed porch.

Two-storey three-window front with two projecting bargeboarded gables. Stone plinth with chamfered step, walls with raised rusticated quoins and similar rusticated first floor window surrounds. Raised string course. Front recessed centre has pent slate hood over half-glazed door with narrow window each side, and first floor narrow 4-pane sash breaking eaves under small gable. Gabled bays have 4-pane first floor sash and bay window below, canted to left with slate hipped roof and square to right with pent slate roof. Large gabled glazed porch is added in front on painted plinth. W end has ground floor canted bay and first floor pair of narrow sashes. E side has gable to right with window above and two below.
