The building features a rendered timber frame, with red brick additions on the right and rear. It has an old tile roof that is half hipped on the left side. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan, consisting of three framed bays and a later cross wing that has two hipped ranges projecting to the right. It is two storeys high and includes a plat band on the left side, an end stack on the left, a ridge stack on the cross wing to the right, and two ridge stacks that are off-centre to the left and right. On the first floor, there are three casement windows on each floor to the left, two segmental-headed casement windows in the cross wing to the right, a ground floor segmental-headed casement window to the right, and a segmental-headed boarded door to the left.
