It features a plain red tile roof and is two storeys high, with a three-window range of 19th-century sliding sash windows. The central door, which is from the 20th century, is topped by a flat canopy supported by brackets. To the right, there is a rectangular red brick chimney stack. The gables have cusped barge boards. The house has group value with the cottages located to the right and left.
