It features a steep tiled roof with gabled ends and has an off-centre brick chimney stack, along with a later internal stack. The building is two storeys high and has three widely spaced windows, which are two-light casements with gothic lights, some of which have leaded panes. At the centre, there is a modern gabled porch, and there is a later lean-to at the rear.
