The original block has a red plain tile roof, while the 19th-century extension features a grey slate hipped roof. The windows are 18th and 19th-century double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. A gabled wing with a red plain tile roof extends from the rear. A 19th-century lean-to extension, roofed with grey slate, is located on the east side.
