The building features a timber frame, with sections that are weatherboarded and others that are rendered. It has a half hipped thatched roof and consists of two storeys with a small two-cell lobby entry. The entrance is positioned to the right of the centre, sheltered by a weatherboarded closed gabled porch. The ground floor is weatherboarded and has two light glazing bar flush frame casements, while the first floor has three lights to the left and two to the right. A rebuilt ridge stack is present, and the right end facing the road is weatherboarded with a ground floor casement. There is a weatherboarded lean-to outshut at the rear left and a one-storey hipped outshut on the left end. Additionally, there is a 20th-century wing extending to the left, attached to the rear lean-to.
