Large two storey house with cement rendered walls and replacement windows. Hipped roof under slate. The house has changed significantly since the 1841 Tithe Map on which it is shown as having a long rectangular plan with a projection on the north side, which may have been a stair turret. By the time of the 1887 Ordnance Survey map the building has been expanded northwards and is much squarer in plan. Other details: No 1567.
