To the right of the door are two 2-light windows, and on the first floor, there are two gabled 2-light half-dormer windows. A ridge stack is located on the right side of the roof. There are 19th-century additions to the left-hand side and the rear of the house. Inside, the parlour includes an inglenook fireplace and chamfered ceiling beams.
