The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range at right angles to the lane. Plank doors are located to the left and right of centre; the door on the right has a 19th-century rustic open porch. The windows are irregularly placed and mostly consist of 19th-century casements of three lights. The interior has not been inspected.
