Red brick chimney stacks are at each end. The design is of one storey with attics, featuring three flat-headed dormers and 19th-century two-light casement windows, some with segmental heads. A dentilled eaves cornice runs along the top. There are two three-light casement windows on the front. To the right is a centrally positioned vertically boarded door, and to the left, a red tiled porch with a panelled door.
