It features a timber frame construction with coursed rubble, coursed squared rubble, and some brick infilling on the ground floor, topped with a pantiled roof. The house has a hearth-passage plan and consists of two storeys with three bays.

The principal wall posts are set on padstones and support a first-floor rail. The first floor is studded, with the wall posts arch braced to the wall plate. On the ground floor, there is a plain boarded door in the right bay, a 2-light casement window in the centre bay, and a 2-light sliding sash window in the left bay, all featuring sills and glazing bars. The first floor has sliding sash windows with glazing bars in the left and centre bays, and a 2-light window with glazing bars above the door. The house has an axial stack and a stack on the front wall at the left end. The roof has plain close verges on the left side and is hipped on the right.
