The building is three storeys high and features two sash windows with stone lintels and hood moulds on the front elevation. A gabled wing projects on the right-hand side, with a rectangular stone-framed bay window on the ground storey. A restored wood doorcase, featuring panelled reveals and a pedimental hood, is prominent. The building has plain eaves and a slate roof.
