It stands two storeys high with a two-window front, which has a central doorway and tall casements in the outer bays on both floors. The gables are made of brick, and the roof has a gable stack on the left side and a central double stack. The lower rear wing extends to the left. Inside, there is a chamfered beam and a bressumer above a blocked fireplace.
