The building has end stacks and is one and a half storeys high, with a three-window front that includes casements and dormers, along with a boarded door.

The framing consists of square panels and diagonal braces at the wallplate where the bays divide. Inside, the cottage has exposed beams and joists in both ground floor rooms, and the wall framing is also exposed at the rear.
