The cottage is 2 and a half storeys tall and has three windows along with two dormers that have hipped roofs. The windows are sashes with cambered head linings and late 19th-century glazing, while the ground floor has later 19th-century bays with unbarred sashes. A centrally located glazed porch, also from the late 19th century, adds to the entrance.
