The building is 1½ storeys high and consists of a 2-bay 17th-century section with an additional bay added to one end. There is a thatched porch on the left-hand end. Each bay has a 2-light casement window, and there is a 2-light eyebrow dormer. The roof is half-hipped, and there are stacks at each end of the original 17th-century building.
