The cottage is one storey high with attics and has a front elevation that includes one dormer and three ground floor windows. At the rear, there is a single storey extension made of brick and thatch. Behind this, there is another extension that combines part brick infilled timber frame and part limestone rubble, topped with an overall slate roof. This extension is two storeys tall.
