The building has been modified with a raised roof and features a well-crafted ogee moulded ceiling. It stands two storeys high and has a range of four windows, which include small two and three-light casements with glazing bars. One of the upper windows extends into a half dormer. The roof is thatched and hipped at the west end, featuring a central chimney stack and a large, old external chimney stack at the east end.
