It is a collection of three buildings adjacent to the Horse and Trumpet public house in Wigston. The far left and the middle of the three are believed to be the remaining properties of a previously staggered terraced block, with the property furthest right being added later.
The property is bounded by a high red brick wall and mature trees along Bushloe End and Long Street. Since its original construction much of the land associated with the house has been sold off for other uses, with little remaining. It is of two storeys in height and despite its earlier origins, has a late 19th century appearance.
The property is a small single storey red brick structure with a high peaked pitched slated roof. Four large windows and what looks like a former entrance doorway characterise the façade fronting Bushloe End.
