The building is constructed of brick with stone slate roofs, while the farmhouse is pebble-dashed. It stands two storeys high and has two bays, with a three-bay barn to the left. The windows feature stone keys, and the ground floor includes a canted bay window with sash windows that have single glazing bars.

The barn has an entrance at the rear with doors, while the entrance on the south side is blocked. There is a rear projection under a cat-slide roof that serves as a cow-house. Inside the farmhouse, there is a staircase with a moulded rail and boarded balusters, along with six-fielded panel doors that have H hinges. The barn features king-post trusses.
