It has a rebuilt gault brick ridge stack and a gable end stack made of local brick on the left side. The structure is one storey with an attic, and it includes two dormer windows, one of which is a horizontal sliding sash. On the ground floor, there are three horizontal sliding sash windows and two half-glazed panelled doors. Inside, the original building's exposed timber frame and timber framed truss are visible.
