The design includes a central section that rises three storeys and has three windows, flanked by two wings that are two storeys high with one window each. The building is topped with a parapet and showcases square-headed windows that have pointed Gothic panes, complete with dripstones above. Fant House is part of a group that includes a wall to the northeast, an oasthouse and barn at Fant Farm to the south, and another barn to the southwest.
