The house has an L-shaped plan, with a cross-wing projecting to the left rear. It is two stories high with a two-window front. A 20th-century ribbed door is set within a closed brick porch with a hipped plain-tile roof. There's a two-light casement window to the right, and two 20th-century two-light metal casement windows to the left. The first floor has two 2-light casements. A cross gable is present to the left, with close studding. There is an end stack on the right, and ridge stacks on the cross-wing. The interior is noted for its extensive beaming.
