Symmetrical 7-window south front. Central doorway with original 2-panel door. Pedimented wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters. Circa late C18 /early C19 18-pane sashes with much crown glass. Original wooden moulded cornice over ground floor windows with slatehanging above. Rear has original outer box frame to stair window opening and original 9-pane upper sash with very wide glazing bars and internal ovolo-mouldings. INTERIOR: is little altered with original floors, most partitions and pine pegged roof structure with elm collars and axial beam for chimney ties. Later plain ceilings may obscure original ceilings with moulded cornices. Original 2-panel doors with HL hinges with shaped terminals within original frames with cyma moulded architraves survive to ground floor and circa late C18 2-panel doors to first floor. Window shutters are less than full height. Original dog-leg closed-string column-on-vase turned baluster staircase with moulded handrail, square newel caps and pulvinated string. A circa late C18 cast iron cupboard with fielded panels is fitted in left-hand reception room.

Much of the walling has scantle slate coping with clay ridge tiles. There was a smelting works here from 1711-1891, first run by a Mitchell, then a Daniell and later by a Bolitho. A descendant of Mitchell, living in South Africa, has records from her great grandfather stating that the house was rebuilt in 1702. (Information from Mr and Mrs Pascoe, present occupants (1985)).A fine example of a Queen Anne period house still retaining many original features and the front fenestration, although late C18/ early C19, is very complete. Also important for its iron smelting associations.
