The exterior is rendered, likely over brick, and features an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. The structure is two storeys high and has an eight-window range. The left side, left of centre, and right of centre have 20th-century ribbed doors, each with gabled tiled hoods. There is a 20th-century glazed door to the right of centre. Most openings have casement windows, except for a 16-pane sash window on the ground floor to the left and a 20th-century bow window to the right of centre. There is a ridge stack in the centre, another ridge stack to the right of centre with diagonally set flues, and an internal stack to the left of centre. The interior has not been inspected.
