The east front has a first floor band and cogged eaves, along with two rendered ridge stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The east front includes an off-centre 20th century glazed door, which is flanked on the left by two two-light casements, all with segmental heads. To the left of the door, there is a brick inscribed with '1752'. Above, there are two cross eaves dormers, each with a two-light casement. To the right, there is a single storey mid-20th century addition that features a door and two casements. The rear elevation and a late 20th century wing have all 20th century windows. Inside, there are two chamfered span beams and a fireplace bressummer, all with ogee stops.
