It features a hipped tiled roof with a large central brick chimney stack on the ridge of the southwest front. The building has two storeys and two windows. The southwest front includes 16-pane tripartite sash windows. The northeast front has two triple sashes with leaded lights and a modern brick and tiled gabled weather porch.
