It is constructed of red brick with a rendered gable end on the south side and features a pantiled roof. The building is single storey with an attic and has a three-window range, which includes three-light casements and a modern glazed door. There are also two modern flat-roofed dormers, a brick eaves dentil cornice, and gable end stacks. This property is included for its group value.
