It features a timber frame that is roughcast rendered, with the framing exposed on the inside, and has a thatched roof. The building consists of four bays aligned approximately east-west, with an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the east, facing south. There is a lean-to extension on the north side of the west end, which has a catslide roof and was built in the 19th century. Additionally, there is a tiled lean-to extension at the east end, also from the 19th century, and a flat-roofed single-storey extension to the northeast that was added in the 20th century. The house is single-storey with attics and has a plain door at the front of a tiled gabled porch from the 20th century. It features three 20th-century casement windows, with one more located in a gabled dormer. The roof is half-hipped at both ends and includes curved tension bracing that is trenched outside the studs.
