That small, incidental find places the construction of the house's east-facing entrance front in the 1840s, which is broadly consistent with what the building looks like: a composed, two-storey facade of five bays with a central porch, sash windows still fitted with their original glazing bars, and chimneys sitting neatly on the gable ends.

The house is more complicated than its orderly front suggests. The rear section reads as older in character, with a steeply pitched roof and attic windows set into the gable ends, though those windows have since been blocked. A central stairway window survives on the rear elevation. The working assumption is that the back of the house predates the more polished 1840s frontage, meaning the building was effectively remodelled or extended outward at some point during the nineteenth century, presenting a newer face to the world while retaining an earlier structure behind it. A two-storey farm building to the rear dates from the mid to late nineteenth century, suggesting the property was an active agricultural holding as well as a domestic residence.
