The exterior showcases three tiers of square panels at the eaves level, supported by straight braces. There are two gabled attic dormers and 20th-century plate glass windows on the ground floor. Inside, there is an exposed queen strut roof truss on the left-hand (north) gable. A 20th-century extension has been added to the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
