Symmetrical frontage: a full-height central gabled projecting bay with full dormer; ground floor windows either side of pointed-arched doorway with recessed door. C20 casement windows. Rear elevation shows a lower cross wing incorporated into a parallel higher and later cross wing. Two small first floor casements with shallow segmental arched heads to side.
