It has two storeys, with the north side featuring two gables and the west side displaying a jettied upper storey. The east front includes a two-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars, along with a central doorway that has a porch supported by iron pillars, flanked by shallow bays. The south front consists of a three-window range, primarily made up of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The ground storey features one shallow bay and one tripartite window. The roof is tiled and hipped, with a central chimney stack on the east side and an internal stack on the north side.
