Flanking the houses are two farm buildings which give the grouping a 'U'-plan. The timber sheeted door is set within a flat-headed opening. Window openings are also flat-headed with a mixture of two over two timber sash frames and replacement top-hung frames. The pitched roofs are finished with natural slate and cast-iron rainwater goods. The southern section has a dentilled eaves course. Chimneystacks are of varying size; all are rendered and have no pots. Internally there are three very large chimney breasts which contain inglenooks. One contains the remains of a bread oven. The house is set on a slight rise within its own grounds.'
