There is a left-hand gable extension with a hipped roof covered in plain tiles and a boarded door. The front of the cottage features three ground-floor casement windows, one of which is located within the original doorway. A single gabled dormer window with a casement also projects from the roof. Inside, the original timber frame is exposed.
