It is constructed of coursed stone rubble and features a stone slate roof with a stone ridge stack located to the right of the center, which has a 20th-century brick flue. The building is two stories high and has a five-window range. The central entrance consists of a four-panel part-glazed door, which is sheltered by a 20th-century stone open gabled porch.
On the ground floor, there are unhorned tripartite sashes with glazing bars to the left of the center and to the right of the center. To the left, there is also a 12-pane unhorned sash, while to the right, there is a 16-pane horned sash. The first floor features 16-pane unhorned sashes, except for a 16-pane horned sash on the right side. All the windows are adorned with painted wood lintels. The interior has not been inspected.
