Built of course stonework with sandstone dressings; steeply pitched slate roof with stone coping and weathered gable finials. The entrance has a pointed arch with chamfered jambs and hoodmould and there is a shaped finial at each corner of the roof. To front (facing the road to E) there is a stone at the apex that bears the initials and date: G D / __57, over a stone that has a repeating circular motif.
