The building has been renovated and restored, with the timber framing now exposed. It stands two storeys high, featuring a jettied upper storey on the south-west gable end. The windows are casement style with lattice leaded lights. At the north-east end, there is a two-storeyed bay window. The roof is tiled and includes a cruciform shafted external chimney stack.
