The cottage has a half hipped thatched roof, which includes an outshot to the left side. It is one storey high with an attic and has two ranges of 19th-century quarter-paned casement windows, along with two gabled dormers above. The entrance is marked by a plain wooden door, and there is a central chimney stack made of red brick.
