It has an off-centre brick chimney stack and stands two storeys high, with four widely spaced windows that are 18th or 19th century 3-light casements. A glazed door is located in front of the chimney stack. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered ceiling beams and wide joists. At the west end, there is a two-storey, one-bay wing that is also plastered and has a pantile roof. Additionally, there is a lean-to structure at the rear.
