The building was renovated in the 20th century. It has one original window with diamond mullions and is designed with one storey and end attics. The windows include a mix of double-hung sashes and casements. The roof is thatched, hipped at the south end and half hipped at the north end, and it has a central chimney stack. There is one dormer on the east side.
