The building is constructed of painted flint rubble and has a pantile roof. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The central door is framed by a moulded timber surround. There is a partly blocked carriage entry on the far left, which features a reused carved lintel from the Princes Inn. On either side of the door, there are casement windows at both the ground and first floors. To the left side, there are sash windows with glazing bars. The building also has two dormer gables with casement windows. Notably, there are parish boundary plates dated 1786, 1800, and 1825.
