The building is designed in an L shape and features a lobby entrance. It has four bays and stands two storeys high. The structure is timber framed and plastered, topped with plain tiled roofs. The windows are a mix of scattered openings, primarily featuring 20th-century casements. There is a 20th-century entrance porch and door. The farmhouse has an axial red brick stack that is cement rendered, along with a moulded red brick stack at the left end. The timber frame of the building is virtually intact.
