The building consists of four framed bays, with an outshot to the right. It stands two storeys high on a flint plinth, with the left end jettied and reframed centre bays. The roof is hipped, with stacks located to the left and at the rear end on the right. On the first floor, there are four projecting wood casements, while the ground floor has three bay windows and one wood casement. A boarded door is located to the centre right, set within a gabled porch.
