It features part timber framing and is constructed of whitewashed English bond brick with a tiled roof. The building has two storeys and three windows. On the ground floor, there is a central projecting 19th-century glazed porch with a side entrance, flanked by three-light timber glazing bar casements. The first floor has two-light casements. Architectural details include a plinth, a plat band, and boxed eaves. The right end of the building has a 19th-century external stack with offsets, while the left end has a lean-to that extends forward to a one-storey timber-framed outbuilding. This outbuilding has a gable front with exposed framing and brick nogging on the left. It is further extended forward in brick, with weatherboarding and a slate roof. There is also a lean-to addition at the rear.
