The windows, which include a widened window to the left of the door, have timber lintels and there are two 20th-century roof dormers. A 20th-century extension has been added to the rear. Inside, the room to the right contains a stop-chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace with inglenook seats and a chamfered beam, while a boxed beam is present to the left. The first floor has not been inspected. This house is included for its group value.
