The building is constructed from sandstone ashlar, featuring a rusticated plinth and raised quoins. It has a Welsh slate roof with wood and glass ridge ventilators. The structure is one storey high and consists of three bays, with half-hexagonal ends. The central entrance door is flanked by windows and there are additional windows in the canted bays on the left and right sides. A sill band runs along the building. The door on the right side has an inscription reading "18JR-C-E85" on its lintel. A central ashlar chimney and two louvred lights are present on the half-hexagonal hip-ended roof.
