It features a colour-washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and has a 20th-century tiled roof. The house has a three-room plan and is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are three windows, with the left-hand one being a leaded three-light horizontal sash.

The entrance includes a six-fielded panel door set in a moulded frame, which is accompanied by a gabled latticed porch. This entrance aligns with a red brick double ridge stack that serves a back-to-back hearth. The windows on the rear elevation are all from the 20th century.
