The first floor is tile hung, while the ground floor is rendered. The cottage has 19th-century casement windows and a plank door set in a stout frame within a later gabled open porch, where visible timber framing can be seen behind. Inside, there is much exposed timber, including uprights and stout diagonal braces, and an inglenook that is partly filled.
