The roof is steeply pitched and thatched, with a slate-covered gabled porch. The house has a lobby entrance and a long internal chimney. It faces north, with a lower-level western section. Three windows, each with three lights and flush casements, are on the east side. Two dormers are located in the eaves of the western part.
