The ground floor has four openings, some fitted with 20th-century casements, and all openings feature stone flat arches. The first floor has three openings, while the cottage itself has a blank front wall. The left return side has two windows with 20th-century casements, and there is a door and window in a blocked segmental archway on the right. A 19th-century brick ridge stack is also present.
