Rystwood House, including Rystwood Cottage, is a large house built between 1913 and 1914 by W Curtis Greene in the Neo-Georgian style. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a tiled roof and features three tall brick chimneystacks. The entrance front has a recessed center with two storeys and an attic, flanked by L-shaped two-storey wings, each containing three windows. The central section has a very tall clustered brick chimneystack and a cambered casement in the attic. The first floor has a 12-pane sash window, while the ground floor features a central doorcase with a pediment and shouldered architrave, leading to a 20-panelled door. The projecting L wings have 12-pane sashes with horns on the first floor and 16-pane sashes on the ground floor, with the inner windows having round-headed blanks above and shutters. The end bays project further and include 5-light bays on both floors.

The rear elevation has a central projecting section of two storeys and attics, with five windows flanked by recessed wings of one bay each. The center has a steeply pitched roof with two hipped dormers containing casements. There are five 16-pane sashes with horns and shutters on the upper floor, while the ground floor features windows and central French windows with 20th-century panes and round-headed blanks above. Each flanking wing has French windows and projecting end bays with hips and 5-light bays on both floors.

Attached to the northeast is a service courtyard that includes a garage and gardener's cottage. The garage is a single-storey brick structure with two round-headed windows and an arch. Rystwood Cottage has a ground floor of brick in stretcher bond and a first floor that is tile-hung, topped with a hipped tiled roof and a central brick chimneystack.
