Random rubble; 1st floor snecked stone with ashlar dressings; Welsh slate roof, stone flags on kennel. 2 storeys, 3 bays. late C19 wood porch with decorative bargeboards and terracotta cresting. 4-pane sashes with projecting sills. Guttering supported on stone brackets. Gabled roof with flat coping and kneelers. Corniced end stacks.

Massive random rubble on left return and similar but slightly more even stonework to rear may indicate a bastle house origin for the building. Walls c.3 ft. thick.

Attached to the front left-hand corner of the house a small C18 or early C19 kennel with segmental-arched doorway and gabled roof.
