The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring 18th and 19th century cable-pattern pargetting. It has a plaintiled roof with a red brick chimney at one end. The windows are 19th century casements. Inside the bakehouse, there is a notable ceiling made of reused early 16th century oak members, with roll-moulded joists and a bridging joist that has multiple roll mouldings.

A brick and plaintile outshut was added to the north side in the 19th century.
