On the front, there is a doorway on the left featuring a half-glazed 19th-century door, along with three 3-light casement windows from the 19th and 20th centuries, which have 4-centered heads. The first floor includes three 2-light gabled dormer windows with 4-centered heads, and an axial stack with two flues is positioned at the right of the ridge.
The right gable end has a 2-light ground floor window from the 20th century, while the left gable end features 2-light casements on both the ground and first floors, with a 20th-century single-flue chimney on the left. There is a single-storey outshut projecting from the left side.
At the rear, a lean-to conservatory is located on the left, which has a half-glazed doorway and a 2-light window on the right. There are also projecting outshuts at the far right and two flat-roofed dormer windows in the attic. Inside, the ground floor has chamfered ceiling beams.
