Modernized circa 1800 when a compact 2 storey house of 3 windows was built at the south end. It has 4 heavy pilasters rising from the ground to a deep plain frieze and cornice with blocking course. All windows have glazing bars. The 2 ground floor windows are 3 light sashes set in segmental- headed recesses; 1st floor windows are single light sashes in plain reveals. The flush quoins, surrounds of the windows and the edges of the pilasters are of a darker stone than the rest of the house. The central entrance is a square headed doorway with deep panelled reveals and soffit. Shallow stone porch with 2 heavy panelled pilasters and a shallow triangular pediment. The roof, of fairly steep pitch, is slate in front and has 3 dormers - casements - with semi-circular heads. On the west there is a 2 storey, 3 light bow window with glazing bar sashes and a canopy extending to right and left on a cast iron frame. Tented canopy to 1st floor. Parapet with 3 panels. Door to left with marginal glazing in top half. To east is rendered gable end of recessed earlier part. Bargeboard. 2 pointed windows with marginal glazing and labels and 2 pointed lunettes below and one above also with labels.
