This house was completed in 1915, having been begun in the previous year. It is built of 2.5 in. local bricks, with Alderley stone dressings, and is roofed with sand‑faced tiles originally a warm buff in colour, but now weathered much darker. It stands on the top of a hill approached from the north, and with views over the Derbyshire hills on the south and east. Internally the walls are all finished with rough plaster. Mr Percy S. Worthington, MA, Litt.D, FRIBA (of Messrs Thomas Worthington and Sons, Manchester), was the architect. The contractors were Messrs Massey and Sons, of Alderley Edge.
