It is timber-framed and plastered, with a ridged and gabled roof covered in concrete pantiles. The roof has vergeboards with finials at each end, and two gabled dormers with vergeboards. There are pairs of leaded casement windows. A central red brick chimney stack is present. The ground floor features a central gabled porch and three-light leaded casements on either side. The south gable has small-paned casements, and the ground storey has a pair of round-headed casements. The building is included on the list for its group value.
