The cottage has two storeys and an attic. The ground floor has one three-light casement window with glazing bars. A 19th-century door is topped by a simple hood supported on shaped brackets. The first floor features one four-light casement window with glazing bars, with its sill resting on a small carved bracket. On the right-hand side, a narrow, gabled attic is tiled on its sides and rendered on the front, with a fixed window containing original green glass. A tile-hung wing extends to the rear. All buildings along the High Street from number 112 to 118 are grouped together for their group value.
