The cottage consists of three bays and is one storey high with an attic. There is one dormer on the north side and four modern leaded light windows. Inside, the layout includes three bays and a narrow chimney bay, with abutting inglenook hearths made from reused brickwork. The original staircase is located off the kitchen, which was formerly the parlour.
