It has a modern tile roof and an old brick stack in the centre of the rear wing. The front features two oriels with diamond-paned windows in four lights, each topped with a canopy of fishscale slates. The left-hand side has a timber-framed archway with brick infill. A 19th-century porch is on the right-hand side elevation.
