and rear, stone slate roof. 3 storeys and attics, double-depth. 6-bay
symmetrical facade. Raised chamfered quoins, 1st- and 2nd-floor bands, eaves
cornice. Central 2 bays have identical doorways with architraves, pulvinated
friezes and cornices. All windows have raised square surrounds and retain
16-pane sashes except those to second floor which has smaller windows with
20-pane sashes. Coped gables with kneelers and end stacks. Rear plainer with
recessed flat-faced mullion windows. Left-hand return has similar windows and
taking-in door (blocked) to each of the upper floors. Right-hand return, facing
into the churchyard and therefore open to public view, has 4 ground-floor windows
as front (some blocked) and some to upper-floor outer bays.

Interior: stair-halls with relatively late staircases separated from each other
by a thick stone wall, each hall partitioned from the front parlours by another
stone wall. Rear rooms have 2 spine beams and corner fireplaces.

A house of fine stone detail prominently sited next to the church and unusual
in being an early example of semi-detached housing.
