The ground floor has three casement windows with wooden lintels, two of which on the left side retain chamfered jambs. There is a ledged door located off centre to the right. Inside, the south room on the ground floor includes a wide chamfered inglenook fireplace with a broken wooden lintel. There is also an extension to the southwest.
