The building has a three-bay plan and is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are three 3-light casement windows, while the attic includes an eyebrow dormer with a 2-light casement window. A 20th-century gabled porch with a clay tiled roof is present at the entrance. The house has one red brick ridge stack and one red brick gable end stack. Additionally, there is a 20th-century addition that projects to the rear.
