It is of traditional double fronted design with full height bays and partly clad in the mature wisteria.

The road boundary has a tall granite wall and there are white double gates to the drive. Rockdene has accommodation on three levels with a sitting room, dining room, kitchen with Aga, a domestic office, a utility room and w.c. downstairs and five bedrooms (three double) on the first floor plus a bathroom and w.c. On the top floor are three rooms comprising a bathroom, living room and bedroom which would be ideal for a teenager or dependant relative.
