The house was built of squared coursed limestone with a double pitch Collyweston slate roof with brick chimney stacks at the gable ends. The main facade has a three window range of sashes under gauged stone heads to the upper floor with two similar windows on the ground floor that flank a central wooden porch with decorative bargeboards.
