It is built of brick and features a steeply pitched hipped slate roof that rises to a flat section. The building has a plinth, a first-floor band, and two ridge stacks. Most of the windows are 19th-century plain and margin light sashes. The structure is two storeys plus attics and has three bays, forming an L-plan.

To the left of the door, there are two sashes, and to the right, there is a single sash.
