House with a verge of stone slates to the roof was built in the early 18th century. The front elevation, which is symmetrical, as a central door way with flat canopy supported by shaped wooden brackets and flanked by segmental arched windows we hung sashes set flush with the wall face. There are similar windows to the first floor and a blind window above the door. The front wall is laid in Flemish bond brickwork and has a coved plaster cornice.

The ground floor plan originally comprised an entrance directly into the northernmost of two rooms, divided by a partition of fielded panelling with which the other walls of the south room were also lined; a separate passage was constructed in the 19th century. The two attic rooms are approached by separate staircases from the first floor. Many original fittings remain.
