The cottage features a modillion cornice and five modern wooden transom and mullion leaded casements, which have gauged brick heads. There is a first-floor band, and the entrance includes an eight-panel door set in panelled reveals, flanked by Doric pilasters. Above the door is an entablature with a modillion cornice, an open pediment, and a traceried fanlight.
