The front facing the road features a doorway located to the right of the centre, which has a 20th-century plank door. In front of the door is a gabled 20th-century porch with a cement plinth. To the right of the doorway is a three-light window on the ground floor, and to the left are two additional three-light casements from the 19th century. On the first floor, there are two three-light casements and one two-light casement. A single-flue stack made of 20th-century brick is positioned at the ridge, slightly left of centre, and the thatched roof is adorned with a decorative ridge of sedge that slopes upwards at both ends. There is a 20th-century single-storey addition slightly recessed on the right, with a similar addition on the left. The left gable end features a two-light casement to the right of the addition, a two-light window on the first floor, and a two-light casement in the attic. At the rear, there is a lean-to on the ground floor to the left, which has a four-light casement, and to the right are French windows, a three-light casement, and a single-light casement. On the first floor, there is a three-light casement on the right and two two-light gabled dormers on the left. Inside, the ground floor has chamfered ceiling beams with stepped lamb's tongue stops and plain joists, along with one additional room featuring joists.
