"U"-plan with gabled centre block breaking forward. 2 storeys, 1:1:1 bays, all ovolo moulded wooden mullions, 2-light gabled dormers in outer bays, centre 3-light casement with lancet in gable end, ground floor 2- and 3-light casements, bell-cast tiled porches with pierced wooden gables set to right of respective windows, studded plank doors. Lower gabled wings on returns with outshots. Spearhead railings set in dwarf walls swept up to cottages in outer bays, breaking forward following the frontage with gates of similar design fronting entrances.
