The building features plastered brick that largely replaces earlier timber framing and has a thatched roof with a scalloped ridge. It has a brick integral end stack.

It is one storey and has an attic, with two casement windows and eyebrow dormers. The door is located to the left of centre and is sheltered by a gable porch. To the right, there is a single-storey lean-to extension, while to the left, there is a two-storey extension that has a dentilled eaves band, casement windows, and a single-storey gabled projection on its left side. The right return of this projection features a central door and two casements with segmental heads.
