It has two storeys and features a dogtooth cornice at the roof, along with kneelered parapet gables and stacks at both ends. There are two sash windows on each floor, with segmental heads on the ground floor. The central entrance consists of a boarded door with a segmental head and a flat hood above it. A date plaque above the door is inscribed with "J Single storey C20 R H 1735." To the left, there is a single-storey extension with a bay window, and at the rear, there is a catslide outshot.
