It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a red plain tiled roof and featuring a central red brick chimney stack.

There is a 20th-century door located on the left return. Inside, notable features include heavy bridging joists, some of which have lambs tongue chamfer stops, as well as panelled and vertically boarded doors, some equipped with 1 L hinges. The interior also boasts a 17th-century inglenook fireplace with a mantle beam, the base of which is made of 16th-century brick with chamfered jambs.
