The building consists of four bays arranged approximately northeast-southwest, with a northwest aspect and an axial chimney stack located between the two southwest bays. There are rear extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is two storeys high and features a four-panel door with glazed upper panels. It has two splayed bays with a late 19th-century slate-roofed canopy covering all three. There is one early 19th-century double-hung sash window with 12 lights on the ground floor, and on the first floor, there are three early 19th-century double-hung sash windows with 12 lights each, along with one blind window aperture. The exterior is finished in stucco that is marked to imitate stone blocks, and the roof is hipped. Inside, there are chamfered beams.
