The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring a two-cell layout. The front has two mid-20th century large-paned casement windows and a central axial stack. There is a mid-20th century side doorway to the right. The left side includes a 1.5-storey addition with a pantiled roof. The timber frame displays reversed bracing at the corners, and there is one diamond-mullioned window in the rear wall, along with part of another. The interior features newel stairs.
