The building is constructed of red brick with a Welsh slate roof, featuring two brick ridge stacks. It has brick coped shouldered gables with kneelers, brick bands, and a painted wooden modillion cornice.
On the left side, there is a projecting cross wing with a gable facing forward. The house has two and a half storeys with six 6/6 sash windows, two of which are located on the wing and have brick cambered lintels and keystones. There is a blocked window above the right-centre doorway, which features a wooden doorcase with a flat bracketed canopy, a six-panelled door, and an overlight.
In the gable of the cross wing, there is a two-light horizontal sliding sash window, also with a brick cambered lintel and keystone.
