It is constructed of brick, with some areas roughcast and painted, and features an old tile roof that is half hipped at the south end, along with a central chimney. The building is two storeys high with an attic. The first floor has a string course that is broken above the central door, which has a wooden lintel. There are two upper three-light casement windows, and to the right of the ground floor, there is a similar segmental-headed window. The south gable has two segmental-headed two-light casement windows on the ground floor, one two-light casement window to the left on the first floor, and one in the attic. The west roofslope includes a central dormer with a swept roof.
