Description

It has a thatched roof and a two-room layout, with one storey and attics. The eastern elevation includes a two-light horizontal sash window on the left, a 20th-century casement window on the right, and a central gabled porch aligned with a colour washed brick ridge stack. There is one 20th-century casement window on each floor of the northern gable end. Additionally, there is a lower thatched addition on the southern gable end, which has weatherboarding on its southern elevation.
