It features a timber frame and is weather boarded on the ground floor and return elevations, with tile hanging on the first floor. The roof is plain tiled and has a lobby entry plan. The building is two storeys high with a garret, a half-hipped roof, and stacks positioned to the centre right and projecting at the end left. On each floor, there are two light and two three-light wooden casements, along with a panelled door located to the centre right in a trellised porch that has a flat hood supported by brackets. There is also a boarded door on the left return and a small casement on each floor. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot featuring a raking dormer and a hipped dormer at a higher level in the attic. Additionally, there is a projecting stack and a bake oven at the rear.
