The house has a 19th-century plank door and mid-19th-century horned sash windows. A raised storey band runs along the front. A rear range was added in the mid-19th century. The interior features chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The roof was remodelled in the 20th century. The building was formerly The Abingdon Arms public house and is included on the list for its group value.
