The early 20th century extension has a projecting two-storey box bay. The rear elevation has a late 20th century conservatory.

NRHE data transfer: A building is shown on the 1838 Map of the Parish of St Peter which probably forms the historic core of the current dwelling. The historic Ordnance Survey maps show that between 1897 and 1922 the building was extended northwards to nearly double the size. The building has two storeys and a rectangular plan and is probably constructed of rendered brick with applied decorative timber work. It has a shallow, gabled roof with slated covering and three rendered chimney stacks. The façade has linear and curved timber decoration. At the ground floor, an off-centre entrance door is flanked by two late 19th century canted bay windows with pent, slated roofs. At the first floor are three, eight-over-eight sash windows. The early 20th century extension to the right (north) has a projecting, two-storey box bay and similar decorative treatment. The rear elevation has a late 20th century conservatory attached to the south and altered, 20th century fenestration on the ground floor and first floors. The applied timber work has a simple, linear arrangement. Internally, all the fireplaces have been replaced with reproductions and the stairs are modern. The only notable features are the three sash windows on the front elevation which have no horns, slender ovolo moulded glazing bars and some old glass. The plan-form was reconfigured in the early 20th century when the building was extended. <1> Unified Designation System UID: 464569
