The building is constructed of red brick and features a 20th-century concrete tile roof with two gable stacks. It has an L-plan layout and stands two storeys high with an attic.
The south front of the farmhouse includes a plinth, a first-floor band, and a dentilled cornice. The central doorway features a four-panel part-glazed door with a glazed overlight.
