It features a later lower-pitched roof covered with black glazed pantiles and has gable ends. The structure is one storey with an attic. It includes 19th century and modern casement windows. There is a later addition of a lower one storey and attic wing on the south end, which has a rendered chimney stack at the junction. Additionally, a modern conservatory has been added to the east side.
