Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, the house features two storeys and is constructed of red brick with yellow brick dressings. It has a tiled roof with ridge tiles. On the right side, there is a projecting gable with finials, and a central gable that also has finials. The left side includes a two-storey gable with the entrance located underneath. The entrance features a round-headed recessed doorway surrounded by a Renaissance-style frame, flanked by fluted pilasters. The windows are either mullioned or consist of mullioned and transomed casements, and there is a panel above the doorcase with a date stone.
