There are small paned oriel windows from the 20th century on the right and left sides, and a central 20th-century half-glazed porch with a vertically boarded door. Inside, the cottage showcases exposed bridging and ceiling joists in one room, along with a moulded bridging joist, a moulded cornice with corner patera, and a mix of double and single roses.
