It has two storeys and features a two-window range with double-hung sash windows that include glazing bars. At the north-east end, there is a modern addition with one window range that has 20th-century casements. The central entrance has a four-panel door framed by a moulded architrave, pilasters, and a modillion cornice supported by console brackets. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles.
