One storey and attic, three bays, attached at the rear by a lower link to a further block set at right angles, the link containing the entrance. The main range comprised a living room divided by a timber framed partition from the parlour at the road end, with a service bay below the axial stack at the S end. Sixteen-paned sashes with timber lintels and similar windows in the three raised dormers, the centre one larger with a 20-paned sash. Rendered stacks at the parlour end and between hall and service bay, both with clayware pots.
