The building is a single storey with an attic and has a two-window range. The central entrance is a sash door that is sheltered by a 19th-century open gabled porch. On either side of the door, there are three-light wood casements with segmental brick heads. The cottage also includes two gabled dormers. The interior has not been inspected.
