The building has a four-room plan and is one storey high with attics. The front elevation includes a variety of casement windows, mostly replaced in the 20th century with applied leading. There is one eyebrow dormer on the front, and a plank door is located on the right-hand side. The house has one red brick double ridge stack and one red brick integral stack at the right gable end.
