The front range has two storeys, featuring a ground floor made of painted brick and a first floor that is weather-boarded, topped with a tiled roof. It includes three sash windows with shutters on the ground floor and a doorcase with a flat weatherhood. The rear range, also two storeys, is tile hung on the first floor and has an external chimneystack.
