The cottage has one storey and attics, with three gabled dormers and a buttress on the left bay. There are three light casement windows to the left and two light casements to the right of the porch. The porch is a 20th-century addition, enclosed and topped with a slanting red tiled roof, and includes a 20th-century panelled door with a side light. At the rear, there is a wing that is built of brick and weatherboarding.
