The cottage has two bays facing approximately southeast, featuring an internal stack at the right end and an external stack at the left end. There is a single-storey extension added in the 19th or early 20th century on the right, which includes an end stack. The building is one storey with attics and has two casement windows from the 19th or early 20th century. The entrance features a 20th-century door set in a rustic porch, which has a gabled roof made of corrugated iron. In the right extension, there is one 20th-century casement window and one 20th-century door. The cottage has a gambrel roof and is depicted in the tithe award of 1841 at the Essex Record Office.
