A central 20th-century porch extends from the front, which includes an 18th-century six-panel door with raised and fielded panels. The roof is tiled and has one 20th-century dormer window. Inside, there is a fireplace with an iron fireback that displays three shields, each bearing the initials N over ME. The front of the house has undergone renovations in the 20th century.
