One window entrance front with doorway and window over, left of middle, original window opening left of doorway and C20 windows opening or enlargement right of doorway; lean-to far right with doorway partly blocked to insert window. The window over the doorway is an original 2-light casement with fanlight over a transom and small panes of original glass; round-headed granite keyed brick arch over. C20 door and otherwise C20 windows. The rear has a 2 window nearly symmetrical 'garden front' with circa late C19 or C20 4-pane horned sashes. Interior not inspected.

A little altered house sited very near the church. The surviving original window is particularly interesting.
